Thumbnails are missing for our external embeds when using topic-thumbnails

I’m not sure I am following, this shouldn’t go through the image onebox engine.

Does this:

<a class="hidden" href="https://app.everviz.com/thumbnails/[...].png" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"></a>

not work? I.e. when a first post in a topic has this in its cooked column, does the image get recognized as a thumbnail after processing?
