Good First Issue[Block] Embed[Feature] Paste[Status] In Progress[Type] Bug

描述

Description

When pasting a direct image URL into the WordPress/Gutenberg editor, the editor should insert the image (e.g., by creating an Image block). Instead, it attempts to treat the URL as embeddable content and inserts an Embed block.

Expected: Pasting a direct image URL (e.g., .jpg, .png, .gif, .webp) into the editor inserts the image (Image block) and displays it inline.

Actual: Pasting a direct image URL into the editor creates an Embed block / embed preview rather than inserting the image.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

  1. Go to editor
  2. Try pasting a URL for an image (ex. https://www.birds.cornell.edu/home/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/334289821-Baltimore_Oriole-Matthew_Plante.jpg)
  3. Embed block is shown

研究方向
Look into the paste handling logic in the Gutenberg editor, specifically how URLs are categorized as embeddable vs. image. Check the `packages/block editor/src/components/rich text/paste.js` file or similar. The issue likely occurs where the URL is checked for embed providers before image URLs. A simple fix might involve checking if the URL ends with common image extensions and inserting an Image block instead of falling through to Embed.
