When is WordPress going to get something like an Article Embed block that let’s you embed a news article from any site (rather than just from WordPress sites only)? In effect, a feature that most social networking platforms have built-in as a core feature to make sharing articles of interest super easy to do by just pasting in the article URL.

I mean there’s this emphasis to post content on your website first (Indieweb), rather than having it scattered across the Web on different social network platforms, yet WordPress doesn’t even have the same basic functionality and ease of use that these platforms have when sharing news articles.

Why is this so complicated to implement? And why is that no one seems to see it as a crucial component to attract people to the platform for blogging, instead of using other social network platforms? For example, I thought JetPack would have implemented something like this a long while ago (to replicate something like Embed.ly) but still nothing.
