Unable to open image in links preview Like before. Before update i'd like to save images preview using telegram, without opening link and searching the way to extract image, but after update with new link preview logic there is issues with opening preview as other telegram media. Can you add option to choose between "open link when tapping on preview" and "open preview in image view when tapping on it"?

Also this makes ip logger links much more trivial to accidentally open, which makes this a potentially security issue. Like in countries where government can check whose IP was that.
Additionally this "not a bug" is likely causing extra bandwidth and storage usage as people will start using "copy image" and such to share the same image from a webpage instead of it being cached for the link once.
Everyone else wants to view image links in app without being forced to go to ANOTHER place. The app is /painful/ to use because of this, let alone inconvenient.
And that doesn't even begin to address the collosal security risk. This is grade a phishing material. Yes please, let me scrape your login tokens and redirect you to where you thought you were going because you HAVE to open shady links now. Brilliant. -_-
Please, for the love of programmer socks, revert this disaster.
