These default extensions can be changed using the `memo.links.customExtensions` configuration variable. This configuration variable is an array. Use the special case of `["*"]` to allow all extensions.
 
 Markdown files and image files can be referenced via regular links `[[image.png]]` or attached using embed links `![[image.png]]`. These file types also support on-hover and built-in previews ([[Notes and images preview.gif|see how it works]]).
