Pinterest posts do not support clickable links

[erehwonmi]

🔖 Feature description

As of now adding a link to a Pinterest post is not supported and you will need to modify your post directly at Pinterest in order to append the link.

UPDATE:
This seems to be the file that needs to be updated

🎤 Why is this feature needed ?

To have Pinterest users directly go to the link related to the image posted in Pinterest.

✌️ How do you aim to achieve this?

There's a "link" property that you can send along with the request and its not being utilized by the current implementation.

Hey there,

I just had a look at the code for this, and there is actually link handling code. I couldn't test it because the Pinterest developer API needs my app submission to be reviewed, and well, I just entered garbage in the app submission. I do hate it when developer APIs make it hard just to do very basic testing :-(

You'll pobably need Nevo to look into this for you, unless my app gets approved so I can test with it.
