Things I have tried
The following syntaxes:
Standard MD link syntax
-

- Produces a remote embed, but doesn’t link to the image in preview.
Recursive MD link
-

- Produces a remote embed, and does create a link to the remote image, but it’s a lot to write out.

MD reference as stand-ins for URL
- ![]([1])

Doesn’t replace the second bracket’s with the URL, but it feels like a stretch of Markdown’s syntax capabilities.
What I’m trying to do
I’m trying to figure out a quick/easy way to create notes with visual references, stored as image files, locally or remotely.
I need to be able to preview the full size of, and choose to open the full image file.[^1]
I’m using Firefox as a web browser, if that helps anyhow (perhaps there’s an addon that I missed, capable of making a link equivalent to second syntax).
[^1]: On that note, something to automatically grab and save linked remote images/files to a folder would be nice as well. It could be solved with this feature request: I’ll peek into the post #25 when it comes to finding a suitable workaround for the time being.
