Feature to auto import image and text from a link (e.g., as on Facebook)
-
I really like the functionality of Facebook where you paste a link into the status box, and then Facebook automatically offers an image and some text from the linked page. (This is especially helpful for posting news stories, etc.) Two questions:
(1) Does this feature/functionality have a name? I’m not even sure how to ask for it.
(2) Does WordPress.com (or WordPress.org) have such a feature/functionality?Thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I think you may be referring to using Publicize https://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/ to auto-post to social networks.
Know that we have no control over the images that Twitter, Facebook or any other social networks chooses to display or when they choose to flush their image caches. We really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include.
