Return the url(s) of files in a "Files and Images" field in the Get Record(s) API call

planned

Instead of needing to make an additional API call to the Get File URL endpoint, it would be great if any API calls that return records would immediately contain the URL of the file

I don't know why an API call has to occur to capture an uploaded file or image URL. It would be great to automatically have a field that stores the URL's of all uploaded files and images. When we create a new solution there are certain fields that are automatically created such as Description, Status, etc... Why not have a URLs field automatically created anytime a file or image is uploaded to a Files and Images field. Files and Images can remain private within SmartSuite or shared publicly through an API call. My Ideal scenario is that I upload an individual or multiple files and images, and I can quickly and easily bind this data in thrid-party platforms like WeWeb. Right now working with images externally seems to be near impossible. At least I can't figure it out.

This should be possible when using "hydrated" flag.
Example:
api/v1/applications/<table_id>/records/<record_id>/?hydrated=true
Does this solve the use case?

It would be great to add the output of the file URL to the formula
