is it possible to do this in 

<link
    rel="preload"
    href="/path/to/image.ext"
    as="image"
  />


using the export metadta in the approuter? I can't find any references to preload when looking in the types or the docs

links prefetched by default when became visible, you can read more here https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/routing/linking-and-navigating#2-prefetching

If what you want is to preload a high-priority image, you could just use <Image priority />
