SharePoint Teams: Link web part

A new Link web part has been added to the Team sites. With this web part you can add a link (website) to  a page to create a link that displays information about the linked page.
The web part will create a clickabe tile that contains a title, description and a picture if possible of the linked page. The look and feel is the same as linking a web page in Slack or WhatsApp.
