How to Link an Image in Markdown with its site (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 day ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I'm looking for a image link format that contains website link that works in Obsidian. Something like this: [image.jpg|size]

Is there a solution or I can only embed an image and simply paste a link under it

You should be able to nest the image and link into each other like this:

 [![image alt text](image URL link)](anchor link)

This effectively uses the image instead of the link text.

sorry I should be more clear, I want to use local attachment link instead of image URL link, what link format should I use?

Ah you mean where the image link is formatted like ![[foo.png]]. I tried some things but it seems Obsidian doesn't support nesting those inside a link (eg [![[foo.png]]](example.com) is not accepted as valid formatting).

yeah that's the problem, I guess I will just simply past the original link right below the image
