Original ticket http://trac.elgg.org/ticket/4470 on 42322177-07-05 by trac user mrclay, assigned to unknown.

Elgg version: 1.8.3

We find some users using the embed content feature expect the link created to point to the file download instead of the description page. I can see users expecting both ways, which is why WordPress gives users the option to do either (or no link).

I think what would suffice is an intermediate step, after selecting the image, in which the user set embedding preference: size of the image (original being an option), the link URL (or none), alt/title text, and the align value. I don't think we need to get into captioning or duplicate WP's full image editing feature set.

A 2 step process sounds like the right way to go.

This hasn't gotten attention in years so is at risk of being closed for lack of interest. @mrclay do you have any new insights?

Not going to do anything about this in core at the moment. There is a plugin around that helps a bit with the issues mentioned in this ticket: https://github.com/coldtrick/embed_extended
