Description
Currently when pasting a *permanent link* generated from Riot into a channel, there is no URL preview available when wanting to *forward* a message into another room.
Tested with
https://matrix.to/#/!JxSVcUkWaKRiETPsxS:matrix.allmende.io/$1498108097390ttXFy:matrix.allmende.io
which is locally expanded to
https://riot.allmende.io/#/room/!JxSVcUkWaKRiETPsxS:matrix.allmende.io/$1498108097390ttXFy:matrix.allmende.io

Research direction
Start by reproducing the missing preview with the permanent matrix.to link and the locally expanded Riot URL shown in the issue. Determine where this redirecting service handles message links and what behavior is expected when forwarding into another room, including guest-accessible public rooms. Done means the supported link produces a URL preview in that scenario.
