Yes, the idea is to add an org-link-parameter named ":preview" so each link type can register how it should be previewed. When omitted, we fall back to a default (only for file links) that's the current image preview behavior. More fine-grained behavior may be desired in the future -- for example, web url links to YouTube should be previewed differently from web url links to arXiv, but for now this will be the responsibility of the single :preview function in org-link-parameters. Would you like this to be part of org.el or should I spin out an org-image-preview.el feature+library? Karthik
