[BUG] Embedding local images doesn't work

[artisticat1]

Describe the bug
Embedding local images in a text column doesn't work

To Reproduce

1. Add an image to your vault (e.g. img.png)
2. Open a database folder
3. Add a new text column
4. In the column settings, set "Enable media links" to off
5. In one of the rows, type ![[img.png]], then exit the cell. No image is shown.
6. Close the database
7. Reopen the database
8. The row we tried to add the image to has disappeared from the database

Expected behavior
The image is shown in the text column, and persists after closing/reopening the database

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows
• Plugin version: 1.7.0

I am working on this. I'm trying to see what's broken... when the embed string arrives to renderMarkdown does not continue the function, so the handleEmbeds service does not do its magic

export async function renderMarkdown(
  cell: Cell,
  markdownString: string,
  domElement: HTMLDivElement,
  depth: number
) {
  try {
    const view: DatabaseView = (cell as any).tableData.view;
    const column = cell.column as unknown as DatabaseColumn;
    const { media_height, media_width, enable_media_view } = column.config;
    if (enable_media_view && isValidHttpUrl(markdownString)) {
      markdownString = `![embedded link|${media_height}x${media_width}](${markdownString})`;
    }
    console.log("rendering markdown", markdownString);
    domElement.empty();
    const dom = domElement.createDiv();

    dom.addClasses(["markdown-preview-view", c("markdown-preview-view")]);
    dom.createDiv(c("embed-link-wrapper"), (wrapper) => {
      wrapper.createEl(
        "a",
        {
          href: domElement.getAttr("src") || view.file.basename,
          cls: `internal-link ${c("embed-link")}`,
        },
        (link) => {
          link.setAttr("aria-label", view.file.basename);
        }
      );
    });
    await MarkdownRenderer.renderMarkdown(
      markdownString,
      dom.createDiv(),
      view.file.path,
      view
    );
   // STOPS HERE BY SOME MISTERIOUS REASON
    domElement.addClass("is-loaded");
    if (depth > 0) {
      await handleEmbeds(dom, view, --depth);
    }
  } catch (e) {
    LOGGER.error(e);
  }
}

Okay.... Looks like MarkdownPreviewView works! (instead of use MarkdownRenderer)

Great! I tested it and it works, but when I close and reopen the database, the image stops showing up.
