Howdy,

I've been digging around trying to find a solution to this.

Many of us want a gallery to do work on our website rather than just be a pretty feature.

Many of the Block based WP editors have this capability for their gallery blocks. So they must have assessed that there was a demand for it.

To do it would be great to have links - for me to link to more intensive information about the object in the image. Is the web to be visual or not. I use text links too. But the gallery allows a direct emotional link for the reader and immediate satisfaction.

The original thread on this was closed because someone on the team considered that there was no interest in developing this aspect.

After digging around to find a solution I see lots of questions on it around the web in various forae.

Thanks for your consideration and work.

Michael Storer.
