Feature request: **Link preview only in body of embedded posts**

I have a specific use scenario I can’t seem to solve in Discourse while I’m evaluation the platform. It seems like several other people are trying to accomplish the same thing as me.

I have the embedding feature working well and new “case” pages for my site create a forum post and add replies to my original site. The problems is the content of the forum post that is embedded. My original source site is React and I can’t seem to control what content to display through RSS.

What works perfectly is, if I post a url to the original source page, Discourse creates a beautiful preview of the page and links to it. How can I use that link preview as the content of my post?

It would be amazing if there was an Embed option to only post the link preview. I don’t need the actual content from the page included in my forum post. I just want conversational replies and users to get back to the source page if they need the content.
