Excalidraw: Publishing without files (images, PDF...)

[dclausen01]

Hi Ole, I'm still working with your plugin and my digital garden works mostly fine 👍 One thing is bugging me, though:

When I export / publish an .excalidraw.md file, the transcluded (or linked) files like images or PDF-documents aren't uploaded automatically as they would from a normal Markdown note.

I looked into your code and saw, that there is no asset management for Excalidraw files (if I read it correctly - I'm still not very skilled in JavaScript). Because all linked and transcluded files are listed in the frontmatter of an Excalidraw file I guess it wouldn't be too hard to add this support.

Please don't bother looking into this, if I'm the only person using this feature!
