Feature Request: Show Cover Image, Video, and Screenshots on Game Pages for ALL Game Formats

I'm am trying to send links of my games to my friends and also post them on my blog. I want to add the link of the game cover photo to my blog, but if it's not an image on my game page, I can't seem to find a link for it.  For one of my games, I had to do it in a hacky way and use the game jam image (not ideal, I'd rather use a link to the game page).

Also, if I give them the straight game page itch link, there is NO CONTEXT for the game, because all the screenshots, videos, and cover images are not on the game page (i.e. some of these are missing for certain or all game formats). In particular, for html games, the page is pretty bland compared to pages for other formats, because ONLY the "run" button is shown versus the cover image of the game with a run button; the page also doesn't even have the name of the game on it at the top.  

So, if possible, PLEASE put all the cover image, screenshots, video, AND title on the actual GAME PAGE for games of ALL formats, so that direct url look-ups have more context.

For now, you can show the screenshot sidebar for HTML games from the theme editor. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for your quick reply! I will do that for now!
