This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to show post summaries within other post contents, like when I insert a link in a Facebook post. A summary of the link's contents is attached to the post and I can see the post title, image, and excerpt.
Solution: There's not an automatic feature to do this, you would have to create a View that is filtered by post ID and insert that View manually using the post ID of the link.

There's not an automated way to do this in Toolset or WordPress, but you could use Views to do something similar with a shortcode and the post ID. The process is manual in that you must insert a shortcode using the desired post's ID. Here's how that could work:
- Create a View that displays posts of any post type, and add a Query Filter to filter by post ID where the post ID is set by a shortcode attribute "ids" (see the screenshot).
- In the Loop Output of this View, add the post title or post link shortcode, the featured image shortcode, an excerpt shortcode, a post date shortcode...any other information you want to display in the blurb.
- Insert this View shortcode in your Blog post using the Fields and Views button wherever you want to show a blurb, and insert the post ID in the shortcode filter attribute "ids":
[wpv-view name="your-view-slug" ids="12345"]
Replace 12345 with the numeric ID of the post you want to display in the blurb.
