Chat image links from D&D compendium pages

ISSUE: I would like to be able to show players the image from a monsters compendium page without showing the Whole description, actions, and stat block. I think this would help me tell my story. If my players have nether seen a beholder I don't wanna say "You see a beholder", I wanna describe the thing, and I feel an image would help support that narrative. SOLUTION: Add a hyperlink "Show in Chat" under each monster image. Linking to " `[ ] image_URL_here )` ". To be clear, I'm not referring to the round tokens, rather the other images some monster descriptions have. Many macros do this already, all in a clunky way, why not streamline it for us. I'm sure this could be a relatively easy process to automate.
I mean typically I just click show to players when you right click on the monster in your side bar, then they always have access to the image. Monsters then have a GM notes section that you could put info that you don't want your players to see, like treasure and loot.

Thanks for the hint AcelnTheWhole. If I do that my players can also see the actions and traits of the monster, as well as a description that may not match their use in my world.
