Description
Turns out that iOS allows any old app to do custom notification UI these days (like iMessage and Twitter do to how image thumbnails). This is described in https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/RemoteNotificationsPG/ModifyingNotifications.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008194-CH16-SW1. It would be wonderful to have this as a feature.

Research direction
Start by reading Apple's linked documentation on modifying notification content, then locate Element's current push-notification handling. The feature is complete when notification previews can display image thumbnails through the iOS custom notification UI.
