Comment (by jbobich):
Currently when you insert the image, you're still inserting a block of
HTML with the image wrapped in a link to the image file (even though it's
now potentially hidden). This also means that `the_post_format_image()` on
the frontend does not take into account properly the "Image click-through
link" field. -- I'm sure this'll get ironed out, though, as you move on.
However, would it be a crazy idea to suggest that this work more similarly
to setting a featured image and remove the entire element of being able to
edit the custom HTML block? Then, essentially you're just saving an
attachment ID and the optional "Image click-through link" field with the
post format meta data.
It seems like the average end-user is not savvy with HTML or knowing what
size of an image they should be uploading. I think this would simplify
things moving forward, help to create more of a standard, and allow the
theme to take more of the control. Right now it seems like this is all
maybe more complex than it needs to be with using
`the_post_format_image()` in a theme.
