Hello.

Is it possible to use a `HTML` as texture in a 3D object?

Lets say I have a tweet card like this:

That have been generated by a code like this (from tweet embed code, this is not the one for this particular tweet)

```auto

```

How could I use it as a texture in a 3D `box()`? Can be done?  
If not as HTML (with all links working) perhaps as an image?  
Can I “render” programmatically an HTML page from inside a p5js sketch as an image?  
`Pgraphics`?  
An `iFrame`?

Well as one can see, I’m not really sure where I’m going… Which is bad and good, as everything…  
Any thoughts or ideas are welcome.  
Thanks
