Feature: get comments, shares (and views) from direct post link

Again, thanks for a very nice piece of software!

When getting data from a direct post link like this:

https://www.facebook.com/facebook/posts/842833351222020

I get detailed reaction counts, which is nice. However, I'm used to getting comment counts, share counts and potentially video view counts when running the scraper on a user timeline.

Is there a potential for adding this for direct post links?

Please note that this actor is designed to work specifically with page/profile URLs as input, ensuring accurate retrieval of the mentioned values. Introducing a post URL may affect the scraper's output. Nonetheless, we'll explore the feasibility of implementing this feature and will update you accordingly.
