Hi , Can you elabortae a little bit more on this ? I would like to work on this issue. I like the idea of using browser to show the pictures , But i think we should ask confirmation from the end-user to avoid this feature possibly being misused. We can use regex to find the links and make a function using webbrowser module to open the links.

Yes I like the idea, but in practice it sounds a little sketchy. The whole reason I made howdoi was to stay out of the browser. If you really need an image you can get the link with -l and pipe to xargs open to get in the browser.

howdoi open wsl folder in windows -l | xargs open

I agree with the misuse part. So as an alternative what if we could fetch the alt text specified in the image tag? It would at least give a description of the image. Although I don't think most of the time while uploading an image the alt attribute is filled in.
