You know how Facebook grabs the first few lines and one or several image in a FB post when you paste a link?
Well I am looking for that functionality in a BBCode. See attached screenie.

Coding such a BBCode it´s rather easy but the server will have to download those images opening an easy way to get the server DDoS itself if any1 abuses the BBCode or even if is used too much.
Edit:
Thinking again the server could only download the page as plain text ---> get some relevant img urls based on an algorithm ---> insert into the DOM with javascript those links thus making the client download these images.
