Set Featured Images does not consider using an external image URL inside an existing frontmatter

[AMC-Albert]

Let's say I have a note with a frontmatter property like feature: https://external/image.jpg, which already has an external image URL before I've run Set Featured Images. This comes from a note created by Obsidian Clipper, in my case.

The Featured Image plugin will not consider this URL as a valid source to download a thumbnail from, and will even remove the property if it doesn't find another valid source in the note content.

Hello. The plugin does not consider image links in Frontmatter since they are only metadata, not part of the actual visible document. If you don't want it to replace your "feature:" tag you can change the property name in Featured Image.

I would like the "feature" property to be replaced by a local version downloaded by this plugin. This would allow my clippings from Obsidian Web Clipper to explicitly define the featured image, essentially passing the URL to the plugin, and the plugin downloads the local version. Doing this through the property itself instead of the first image in the note would save a bit of hassle.

I will consider this for future releases, I don't want the plugin to grow too complex with too many settings and options. Thanks!
