bumping this! Also added resources to demonstrate how simple of an upgrade in support this should be. Essentially catching up with the Chromium upstream supported images types for embedding should be all there is afaik.
Supported image formats: .png, .avif, .webp, .gif, and .jpg/.jpeg.
Noted forum posts:

- Feature Request: .HEIC Image Format Support – Obsidian team explains why HEIC/HEIF won’t be supported since chrome doesn’t support it
- Feature requests: Support JPEG XL (JXL) file format for attachments/embeds – JPEG-XL conversation grows after chrome rejected bringing it back
