I was hoping to use Trello to collaborate with my real estate agent and make it easier to track and discuss properties. To test it out, I copied a link to a property listing and pasted it into a new card. Trello grabbed the first image and made that the card image, and set the title to the HTML title of the linked page. That's awesome and makes it very easy to remember what property is referenced by the card.
But then I went to click on it and start a discussion on the property, only to realize you can't open it like a normal card. It strictly operates as a link. There is an option to convert it to a normal card, but when you do that, the image and title are removed, and the card now appears just as a raw URL. That's not helpful at all.
I could go in and manually edit the title and cover image, but that's not reasonable when dealing with potentially hundreds of listings. Also, my agent has never used Trello before. She's not going to understand how to do any of that, nor would she be willing to.
Please make cards created from a URL to behave more like traditional cards. It'd be great to pre-populate the cards cover image and title based on the URL, but allow us to treat it like a normal card still. Maybe create a link button that appears in the corner of it when hovered over, but don't force the entire card to act as a link. In the context of Trello that just isn't helpful.
