[[Obsidian forum request]][^1] where I asked for [[Obsidian Publish]] to allow using `cover/image` property as a link [^2], in order to work with social media link previews [^3].
For example, I have a note with frontmatter as follows:
```md
---
cover: [[Image.png]]
---
```
And I expect it to work with:
- [[Obsidian Bases]] cards by setting `Image property`: `cover` (it actually works)
- [[Obsidian Publish]] social media link previews (not working as accepts a path)
The current workaround is using a path as follows:
```md
---
cover: "Attachments/Image.png"
---
```
But I lose backlinks from `Image.png` perspective - I don't know where it is used, or it is harder to search for that using [[Obsidian Bases]] or [[Obsidian Dataview]], as matching filenames, instead of traversing using links.
