How to remove the URL of the preview image, and leave the image itself in the Telegram post?

Question

Telegram

Please tell me how to completely remove the URL of the image that is inserted at the very top of the post for the preview, but the image itself in the preview should remain? It is necessary to remove the URL, not hide it. I read about methods to put a dot or spaces or all sorts of different characters in the link, but when you click on the post and click copy text, the link is copied, and it needs to be completely removed from visibility.

My telegram posts are fasting automatically, through the API from posts in WordPress. Just in case, I'll paste the code:

<?php
