StuartMillington on "[Plugin: Z-URL Preview] UI Question"

Thank you. I can only build what I think of, and think will be useful. Extra pairs of eyes and ideas always help.

With a couple of days hindsight, adding to the Add Media function itself may work better in the long run - a version of the "Insert from URL" concept.

The reason for that is that one thing that I wanted to do with this was to allow the choice from all the images in a page, e.g. on a page with 5 images the first one may not be the best choice for a preview/link.

If someone has set an og:image manually, hopefully they picked the good one. But, many/most sites have not done this or their og plugin picks the first image automatically.

I can see a possible way of doing this within the add media system but not within the MCE plugin environment. I'm 80% sure this is possible but 10% sure how long it will take to find the time.

The idea is to "insert from URL", grab the page, then on the pre-insert page: list the images available so one can be selected and also list the title, description, link, etc. so that they can be edited before being inserted into the post.

Sorry, I'm rambling and probably not making a lot of sense.
