this loads the original sized image, it feels a little overkill

Both this and a thumbnail for the image are on coreStore, but the component shouldn't have to know about core-data. Should we pass that extra info to all instances of the link preview, or should we leave this as is?

How big is the image? If it's huge then I don't think this is acceptable.
I did have a plan to use the value.id to fetch the full data about the entity from the Core Store. In fact I did have a PR about precisely that but I cannot locate it.
This selector would need to be passed in via blockEditorSettings because - as you noted - we cannot consume Core Store directly here.
If we do this I would consider whether it's better to do that bit as a separate PR.

#50998 this one perhaps?

Some simple tests for this would be great.

I just saw that there is another PR (#57824) open for the same thing and I prefer how they implement this check using mimetypes instead of a regex. I was going to grab that implementation myself

I spoke too soon! seems like it can be done for the suggestions because they come from fetchLinkSuggestions but the link previews don't have that, so we'd still have to figure out if the URL is an image via proding at the actual URL. I'll go about doing some tests for this function then.

An empty alt tag is acceptable when there is no way to provide an accurate description

@getdave the image is as big as the original image is. In my local env I was using huge images for some other reason and I was seeing a 2k pixel width image in the tiny thumbnail. It could definitely be a followup |
If I've understood you correctly, I don't think we should introduce the possibility of loading giant images in a preview for a link. |
I might have not been clear, this is what I can see in my test site

This PR is cool in terms of improving the UI of adding links. i think for sighted users the small area of preview can speed up choosing the image picking process of choosing from the suggestions or search results. However, we need to show a really tiny thumbnail there not the full image. Can't we get the thumbnail via another REST call and replace async the previews with what we receive from the server? Also for unsighted users the Alt can say "Thumbnail preview of [filename]". |

As @draganescu indicated, we can alter fetchLinkSuggestions to query the Media endpoint rather than search. We would need to be sure to continue to offer the same properties on the returned object but we might get access to more data about the media which we could use to augment the response. This PR is already going down that route for the purposes of localization. Worth syncing up there by reviewing that PR and then discussing collaboration. |

I added the new endpoint and added a thumbnail and alt text to it. Should we remove the link preview implementation from this PR and do that in a follow-up to keep this one simpler? |
