Hi @fcwhitford ,
I have not observed any discernible distinction between utilizing the WP image block inside a GB container and using it outside of the container.
However, to incorporate a file link to the GB image block, you can find the option in the Dynamic Data panel. One can activate the dynamic data feature and select ‘single image’ as the link source.
Let me know if this helps 🙂
OK, I think I’ve worked this out. When an image is inserted it picks up the alt text from the media meta, but if the alt text is added to the media meta later it doesn’t change in any images already inserted. So the two aren’t linked. This does explain something that puzzled me, which is that if the same image is used in several places it may need different alt text. I haven’t completely got my head around the block editor yet – it’s so much more complicated than the classic editor.
