Format image URLs as <img> html tags

[marktheunissen]

Hi all, thanks for the awesome software!

I've forked Metabase and hacked it to turn image URLs into <img src="" /> HTML, so that images are loaded in the table. Below is a screenshot of this in action, and here is the commit that accomplishes this (nasty hack): master...marktheunissen:master

Clicking on the row ID loads the bigger image. It would be awesome if this could be fleshed out into a core feature, but I'm not sure how you'd like it to work. As you can see, I've had to hardcode some values, e.g. height.

Here's another +1 for this from a user who added support for base64:

I'm definitely +1 for this.

I think there should instead be a new field category called Image that we can associate to the field. This would allow us to:

1. Not use or depend on RegExp, which can be slow in loops and may not cover all possible scenarios.
2. Support URLs that don't have a file extension, yet produce images.

Hey everyone, one way we prioritize issues is by sorting them by the number of 👍 reactions on each issue's description. So instead of leaving +1 or 👍 comments, please just upvote by adding a reaction to the issue description.

Please add this feature. I don't know why this can't be incorporated into main branch
