This is the expected behavior at the moment. It may change in future. More info in the comment section.
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"?
Steps to reproduce
Send link with image inside (like twitter post or furaffinity link)
Telegram successfully loaded preview of the link content.
Please reconsider reverting. Or just add a switch (in experimental settings at least)
This is just "dynamic sticker pack order" fiasco all over again.

If I wanted to open a link, I'd click on the link instead of clicking on the embed's image. Please add a toggle in settings. My friends and I share a lot of links in group chats, and this pseudo "feature" is very annoying.
