should be possible to add more info based on actual url.
we have to add/refine og meta tags from http://ogp.me/
the following:

    <meta property="og:title" content="..." />
    <meta property="og:description" content="..." />
    <meta property="og:image" content="..." />
    <meta property="og:image:secure_url" content="..." />
    <meta property="og:image:width" content="X" />
    <meta property="og:image:height" content="Y" />

not sure about og:video, would need testing as to what works / is required to get videos to play.

We'd have to support the same set of views as in embeds (some of which I assumed are orphaned, unused, or even broken)

right now there are 2 views, default site view and item view
items get this:

        <meta property="og:title" content="The Kabul University"/>
        <meta property="og:type" content="movie"/>
        <meta property="og:url" content="https://pad.ma/BTO"/>
        <meta property="og:image" content="https://pad.ma/BTO/256p.jpg"/>
        <meta property="og:site_name" content="Pad.ma"/>
        <meta property="og:description" content="Cinematographer: Asefi Satarzadah, Camera Assistants: Faqrizad and Dost Mohammed, Editor: Saberi; Duration: 00:17:00; Aspect Ratio: 1.366:1; Hue: 70.394; Saturation: 0.098; Lightness: 0.353; Volume: 0.184; Cuts per Minute: 21.802; Words per Minute: 43.311; Summary: Date (Afghan Calendar): 1347Shows the reopening of Kabul University after renovations in the 60s.Footage Source: DVCAM tape transfer

but would have to map out what to show for what, about your example, a search, not sure
could use first item from results as image. if a list is selected the list description etc
