Using Telegram Bot API,

I'm aware that it is possible to send an image via https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#sendphoto

However, how can I embed a remote image into a formatted message?

The message I am looking to send, can be compared to a news article with a title in bold, an image, and a longer text with links. I figured out how to create bold text and links with markdown, but I'm failing at inserting images. How can we do that?

you must set ParseMode in HTML and set your Image Url in A tag like this:

<a href="' + image + '">&#8205;</a>

&#8205; -> never show in message
