Images in footnotes are not rendered with inline expansion:

Curiously:

- If I **left-click** on the image’s placeholder – in order to open the image in the current browser tab – I receive what appears to be a permissions error. (_Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private._)
- If I **middle-click** on the image’s placeholder – in order to open the image in a new browser tab – I can see the image.

Is this expected behaviour? I am wondering whether I should avoid using images in footnotes.

I know images in footnotes are probably a non-typical use case. Footnotes provide a convenient way to supply the reader with detailed data (in my case, graphs) without interrupting the flow of a paragraph.

I guess not, we should fix this.

This should be all fixed in latest version of the plugin.

Thanks for report.
