It would be nice to have option to generate link preview (link card) on sender client side, and send it to receiver of message. Benefit is that receiver would be able to glance and read description before clicking on link.

Here are a few examples of link preview:

> **[how to generate link preview in your webapp - Coding is Love](https://codingislove.com/generate-link-preview-webapp/)**
>
> Link preview is usually generated by fetching the URL and parsing meta tags of the page for title and description and image tags for thumbnails...

> **[How to Create a Link Preview: The Definite Guide \[Implementation and Demo...](https://andrejgajdos.com/how-to-create-a-link-preview/)**
>
> The whole strategy of creating link previews, including implementation using open-source libraries in node.js. The whole solution is released as npm package.

Is there plan for feature like that? I couldn’t find anything searching forum.
