Support Link Previews in Logseq for all URLs, similar to how {{twitter <URL>}} and {{tweet <URL>}} work.

So you could write code like this:

{{urlpreview https://logseq.com/}}

And it would show a preview of the web page.

This feature request is a superset of Show popover preview of links on hover, since it involves external URLs. That feature is implemented, and the thread is closed, so this thread is necessary.

Here is an example of the existing Twitter link preview:

{{tweet https://twitter.com/logseq/status/1625486937938341890}}

In terms of the Twitter preview: that’s different from the OpenGraph link information preview (the examples you show later).

The link preview for Twitter is a macro that uses the Twitter embed iframe specs, and you can create your own macros (see Allow me to embed a mastodon post just like I can embed a tweet | GitHub).
