By trial-and-error I’ve come up with the following. It seems like a hack but both variants are close enough to my requirements that I would be able to work with one of them.
There’s still one catch: When I change the caption key „location“ to „bottom“ together with „inbetween={\blank[-\strutdepth]}“ the picture is aligned with the black line (top of the first text line). This would actually be the preferred solution also for „{left,high}“. Yet I couldn’t find a possibility to shift the picture vertically by some millimeters. Is there?
