Can GitHub Pages automatically process GitHub video assets?

Question

I am aware of several other questions on the seemingly related topic (e.g., this one), but I would like to know if or how the following can be achieved.

Setup

• Suppose you have the following sample GitHub repository, i.e., mihaiconstantin/github-asssets-and-pages.
• It contains a single README.md file with a text and an external link to a video, i.e.,:
  • https://github.com/mihaiconstantin/github-asssets-and-pages/assets/20051042/764d3ae0-c3d8-4b30-97c5-b6a8bec805d5
  • The video URI was obtained by the mighty drag-an-drop action in the README.md in edit mode on GitHub.
  • When accessed, it resolves to the storage location somewhere in the AWS S3 storage, e.g.,:
    • https://github-production-user-asset-6210df.s3.amazonaws.com/20051042/241174616-764d3ae0-c3d8-4b30-97c5-b6a8bec805d5.mp4
• The corresponding GitHub Pages URL for this repository is the following:
  • https://mihaiconstantin.com/github-asssets-and-pages/

Observed Behavior

• When I access the GitHub repository page, it renders the video URI as a <video/> element in HTML.
  • This seems only to be the case for assets uploaded via GitHub, i.e., other external links do not appear to get the same treatment. For clarity, here is the generated HTML:

<video 
    src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/20051042/241174616-764d3ae0-c3d8-4b30-97c5-b6a8bec805d5.mp4" 
    data-canonical-src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/20051042/241174616-764d3ae0-c3d8-4b30-97c5-b6a8bec805d5.mp4" 
    ...   
>
</video>

• However, when I access the GitHub Pages for the repository, the URI is displayed as plain text, which makes sense.

Desired Behavior

Is there any way to get the GitHub Pages to treat the URI in the README.md the same way as GitHub does (i.e., to render it as a <video/> element?

My current workaround is to replace the URI in the README.md with the generated </video> element, as seen on the video-tag branch of the sample repository.
