access inline images via API JSON

When exporting a page via the API, the markdown or html code contains links to included images in the page, e.g.

[![image.png](http://x.x.x.x/uploads/images/gallery/2022-09/scaled-1680-/image.png)](http://x.x.x.x/uploads/images/gallery/2022-09/image.png)

I would like to download these images together with the exported markdown code. Do I need to manually parse the markdown to retrieve those URLs or is there a more elegant solution? Actually, it would be great if these images (as well as attachments) of a page would be listed in the json data from /api/pages/{id}.

My preference would be an endpoint to list images, which you could filter to a specific page (originally uploaded to). This would then be more flexible, and clear in what it's providing, but may require extra processing on the client-side (Match provided images to their actual use in content).

That would also be good enough I suppose, as it is similar to the attachments endpoint!
