YouTube hyperlink on web page does not work on saved file
Using SingleFile to backup my content on social media site Quora.com.
SingleFile does a great job, bring images, formatting, and hyperlinks to Internet articles, etc. to a single file.
However, the hyperlink for Youtube video links does not work. I only see an image of the video, but cannot click and play. And if I just copy the link over the image, it is, indeed, an image.
Here is the actual Quora website page:

thx in advance!
This bug is due to the fact that Quora forces users to click on the play button in order to load the YouTube video. When I click on the play button before saving the page with SingleFile, then the link is present in the saved page. It should be possible to circumvent this kind of problem automatically via a userscript though, if it's too annoying.
Thanks for a response! Yes, I can click play and probably automate. THXs for great application.
