Link previews

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It is not related to a direct problem that I have but instead a feature that I would be a great addition to the overall documentation experience that Vitepress provides,

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be great if the links that we embed into a page would have some kind of preview popup that gets displayed to the user via the use of an iframe or simply using the open graph protocol. Similar to what Trello does here image As you can see, when I hover over the link a preview is displayed to the user with information regarding the link, it could be through an iframe open graph or both.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have not considered any alternatives because I believe that non exist that fulfil the idea that I have in mind

Is this effect better? https://www.urlbox.io/ https://cali.so/blog/guide-for-cloning-my-site

Is this still being worked on? Not having previews is a bit of a letdown since it gives people the content to expect on that specific page.

@Simulping I agree with you! This is a great feature to incorporate into vitepress, hopefully the team deems it worthy enough to implement.

Maybe, it would be better to develop an markdown-it plugin instead?

If so, I am interested in developing a mardown-it plugin for it
