Hello,  
Noticed that onebox doesn’t work when you hide elements. Any way to go about it?  
See:

Hello and welcome @aron_bett 🙂

I think you can use html `<details>` to achieve this:

```html
<details>
<summary>
Check out my onebox
</summary>

https://www.discourse.org

</details>

```

> **Check out my onebox**

still doesn’t work.  
Maybe I wasn’t clear. The goal is to enable link previews when you use “hide details” feature.

When I don’t use hide details feature, the link previews appear;

That’s exactly what @JammyDodger has shown to work?

The one-box is retrieved but hidden in the details and displayed once you expand them.

Several things don’t work inside hidden tags. Inline images won’t be rendered (and downloaded) as well:  
I think there are others I don’t remember right now. 🤔
