Feature Request: Embed media in rich text fields using Draftail

[glitchwolfe]

Users should be able to embed Media objects into their content the same way they do Documents/Images. At the time of choosing, they should also be able to select if they want the video to autoplay, loop, and mute (similar to image formats).

I managed to get something like this working on one of my wagtail projects by reverse-engineering the existing modal chooser workflow for wagtailimages/documents, and would love to have this feature in a more official capacity. My solution is pretty hacky and doesn't use JSX or have unit tests, but I would be glad to help get this working in wagtailmedia once I have some time off.

Here are a few example screenshots:

Thank you @juan0tron, that would be a rather nice addition!

That would be an awesome addition!

Sorry for the long wait! I've finally found the time to port my code over to this repo. There are some things that need to be addressed before I think it's ready to be merged in - advice on the best way to approach those issues would be much appreciated!

I would love to help with this but have been struggling to find time for this project lately – so if others beat me to reviewing #90 then great. In any case this is looking very impressive @juan0tron!

I’ve done an initial review review of #90. I think more feedback on the approach (not necessarily the details of the implementation) would be helpful.

Is there a working solution for this?
