a way to link to files or images in named links+discussion

I made this a support ticket in case there's already some way to do this that i'm not thinking of; if not, i'll make this an Idea, or just a Ticket if there's no objection.

well, not link, of course! I think it should be raw, because that's how it should be stored. I think this is a good idea but not ready for a ticket.

I made this an idea. Would the ticket be change data of file and image cards to URL? And what's not ready to ticket about it?

Currently, image content is |img src="URL"| and files have |a href="URL"|

Lew, I like this idea -- representing images and files in the database with urls. It seems to me more like what the raw content should be. Why was it that you didn't like this plan?

Hmm, I did actually just realize an issue. What if we want a url to a medium-sized image or an icon? Raw will always return the same thing. Hmmm, maybe we're going to need a view after all.
