embed
A url whose contents will be fetched and injected into the body of this card.
This can be used to inject arbitrary html content, but is especially useful for injecting
the output of other sql files rendered by SQLPage. For the latter case you can pass the
?_sqlpage_embed query parameter, which will skip the shell layout
embed_mode
Set to 'iframe' to embed the target (specified through embed property) in an iframe. Unless this is explicitly set, the embed target is fetched and injected within the parent page. If embed_mode is set to iframe, You can also set height and width parameters to configure the appearance and the sandbox and allow parameters to configure security aspects of the iframe. Refer to the MDN page for an explanation of these parameters.
