LinkedIn Posts - Support for Rich Preview Card on Links instead of blank

Feature Request

I've been using Late.dev for LinkedIn posting and it's been great overall. However, I've encountered a limitation:

Currently, when posting links to LinkedIn via the Late API, the links appear as plain text without the rich preview card (title, description, thumbnail).

I discovered that LinkedIn requires an image URN (like urn:li:image:C49klciosC89) for the thumbnail field, which requires uploading images through LinkedIn's Images API first. At least that’s my understanding from their API docs.

Would it be possible to add support for:
- Uploading images to LinkedIn and receiving the image URN
- Using those URNs in the article thumbnail field for link preview cards

this way we could post content and get a rich preview of the link.

Example of a link preview attached for clarity about what I’m asking about.

    Good news, this is already supported, and it's on by default.

    Just include the link in your post content and attach no media items: Zernio fetches the page title, description and image and publishes it as a native LinkedIn rich preview card. Two things to know: only the first URL in the content becomes a card, and attaching media disables the card. You can opt out with platformSpecificData.disableLinkPreview: true.

    Details here: docs.zernio.com/platforms/linkedin#disable-link-preview. Thanks for the request!
