Description

Feature Description

Right now, we only get the default image link from Imgur. It would be great if we had an option to select which image code we want. Like for now to get the BBCode for Imgur, it takes an extra step of opening the image in the browser and grab the code or write it manually.

Option to generate Markdown, BBCode and HTML code for uploaded images would be great. Would save a lot of time.

Research direction
Review the existing Imgur upload implementation in the codebase, likely in src/core/imgur.cpp or similar. Identify where the image link is currently handled and how to add options to generate Markdown, BBCode, and HTML codes. Check for any existing UI for upload settings. Look at the Imgur API documentation for embed codes.
