Image preview: regression or intentional change?

[Max Nikulin]

Hi,

Consider the following Org file
---- 8< ----

#+startup: inlineimages linkpreviews

[[./img.png]]

Links below are not rendered as images for current HEAD,
but work in
Org mode version 9.5.5 (release_9.5.5 @ /usr/share/emacs/28.2/lisp/org/)

[[https://orgmode.org][<file:./img.png>]]

[[https://orgmode.org][file:./img.png]]

---- >8 ----

Image overlays are created for all 3 links in the case of Org 9.5.5, 
however only first link is displayed as the image in the case of current 
git main.

Is it a regression or an intentional change? Maybe I just missed some 
defcustom or startup option.

I have skimmed through the following thread, but I have not noticed 
discussion of image as link description.

Even more I am puzzled by the following example:

"Inline display of remote images"

I expect that it may be related to TRAMP file paths like 
/https:/host/file.png (by default http is disabled in gvfs backend 
though), but not for regular URLs.
