Comment (by alexkingorg):

 Here is an alternative implementation. Instead of the additional arg to
 change the return, refactor the function into two functions. One returns
 the ID (more efficient, since if you just need the ID it doesn't need to
 call {{{wp_get_attachment_url()}}}, etc.), the other calls this function
 to get the ID and returns the HTML (maintains current behavior).

 Without this change, it is difficult to implement the following
 functionality while utilizing core functions:

 1. sideload an image
 2. set the image as the featured images for the post
