If a same URL is called multiple times in editor, is it called once or multiple times by AAO from the hosting website?

If I made several pieces of evidence that used the exact same picture URL (which is to say each of said pieces of evidence would have the same external icon), would AAO check if URL was already called beforehand?

What I mean to ask is if AAO would use bandwidth for every time an identical URL shows up (be that evidence icons, background/foreground objects in a place, music*, sounds*, etc.),
or just once the first time and the remaining times it would check and see that it already has the requested image?

* These two were mentioned just as an example. Although having two identical tracks or sounds might theoretically be useful for something
(if, for example, one would want to reuse a same track or sound with a different volume).
