[Feature Request] Add links and images directly in the post editor, not via a reference at the bottom

Would you consider making it configurable, how images and links (via the toolbar) are inserted into the Markdown?

This is probably a personal preference, but I really like the [XXX](https:…) style more than the "footnotes style". I can at once see where the link is leading or what image I inserted, instead of having to scroll to the bottom of the editor.

Yes, sometimes it is quite confusing, to achieve this we have to edit some parts of the Markdown.Editor.js example:

htmly/system/admin/editor/js/Markdown.Editor.js

Line 1807 in 62cd98a

chunk.endTag = "][" + num + "]";

It seems that changing the code in that line is enough:

// var num = that.addLinkDef(chunk, linkDef);
chunk.startTag = isImage ? "![" : "[";
chunk.endTag = "](" + properlyEncoded(link)+ ")";

Is there some sort of caching going on? I edited the line as you instructed and overwrote the file on the server, but images are still inserted with a footnote.

I opened the admin in a new browser window, too, in case that would pull the admin freshly.

Thanks that you're looking into this!

Its browser caching, try to reload the page in editor, if you are using cloudflare clear the cloudflare cache.

That worked, thanks!

I will include it in future release
