Link Preview Options #177

Please consider adding options to control what is in the Clipboard Paste Preview window. Consider providing a textarea to edit the URL preview and select/deselect parts of the preview, like images.

Maybe the images and links in the preview should point to the link shared not the image itself or some other link. It can cause confusion.

It can cause confusion.

The purpose is to show a preview of the URL using the open graph protocol to extract the title, an image and short description for the web page or web site. Not all web pages support it or support it properly and the results are not ideal at times

If users find it confusing, then they can always select close, not accepting the URL previews or even disable the feature
