How to use different styling for unfurling links in Slack (other than small rectangle)?

I'm using Slack's chat.unfurl API to send unfurls object with following structure:

{
  "https://example.com": {
    "blocks": [
      {
        "type": "header",
        "text": {
          "type": "plain_text",
          "text": "How Is the User Identified?"
        }
      },
      {
        "type": "section",
        "text": {
          "type": "mrkdwn",
          "text": "# Authentication\n\n## How Does a User Log In to the App?\n\n*   **Email & Password Form:**\n    *   Utilizes standard Devise implementation.\n    *   Devise configuration can be found in ..."
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

This ends up looking in Slack's composer window like this:

enter image description here

This is not quite what I'm looking for. First of all, almost half of the box is taken up by my Slack app's name which is useless. Second, I don't like this "box" look, is there a way to get something closer to Slack's default unfurl? I'd like to show way more content from my markdown block.

I could not find the correct structure of the blocks. At least, I'd like to replace the app's name with my "header" block.
