Trac ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65086


Summary

Adds new action hooks in the media modal attachment details templates so plugins can render controls directly next to core fields such as Alternative Text, Title, Caption, and Description, without relying on DOM manipulation.

What changed

  • Added hooks in the two-column attachment details template fields of attachment details modal after:

    1. Alternative Text
    2. Title
    3. Caption
    4. Description
  • Added hooks in the attachment details template fields of edit media page field after:

    1. Alternative Text
    2. Caption
    3. Description

Why

This enables feature plugins and integrations, including AI-powered workflows, to place contextual controls (for example, a Generate button for alt text) exactly where users expect them in the media modal UI.
