To help accessibility it would be useful when an image was dragged into org-mode if the user got prompted for an image description that gets associated with the image in org-mode. Some images are art work and those should get alt="" tags if a user fails to provide a description but only after asking if this image is art work or something that needs a description. If a description is provided that should go between the quotes in the alt="" tag.
