 > 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, make the UI easier to use, help to create
 more of a standard, and allow the theme to take more of the control.

 see fix for inserted HTML,   #24289
