I’m making a plugin that incidentally interacts with [https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-list-previews/41630](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-list-previews/41630).

My end goal is to display these [http://bl.ocks.org/](http://bl.ocks.org/) in a post (which I have working), but I also want to display the thumbnail in the `topic-item`. I overrode `ExcerptParser.rb` methods to allow my custom tag to go through (akin to the `spoiler` class attribute on `div` and `span`). My hope is to grab the data within the allowed `span` tag and render the thumbnail after it uses this data to make an ajax request.
