Description (last modified by sabernhardt)

We are making plugin for featured image using external url.

If user gt featured image url via wp_get_attachment_url() there is no way for us to hook because wp_get_attachment_url hook will never called if the post is not 'attachment'. The only way for us to make it work via creating fake attachment which is complicated.

pre_wp_get_attachment_url filter will be very helpful in this case.

Real life problem:

They solve this by creating fake attachment for each featured image, which waste of space.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/featured-image-by-url/
They stated plugin wont work if theme uses 'wp_get_attachment_url' to get featured image url
