Sending image items via Telegram binding

I saw someone having the same problem which hadn’t been solved here

Since it took me a moment to get this working, here’s how, in javascript. (blockly doesn’t support it)

var image, i;
var things = Java.type('org.openhab.core.model.script.actions.Things');

image = itemRegistry.getItem('myItemName').getState().toFullString();
var i = '1234567890';
things.getActions('telegram', 'telegram:telegramBot:myTgBot').sendTelegramPhoto(i, image, 'text');

i have edited the blockly-library to enable this.

here’s the code
