User story

As a user of IBM.com, I'd like to see images such as product shots and diagrams in a larger format, and flip through multiple when there are multiple without opening a new window/tab or going to a new page.

Notes

A typical interaction pattern is as follows:

1. User reads description on a feature band with an image
2. User clicks the embedded image in the band
3. A lightbox opens with the image.
4. The customer is able to cycle through multiple images when applicable.

This component will likely utilize the modal component, and implement mechanisms for slideshow, displaying descriptions, etc.

On Aug 14, stuartji commented: @Wonil-Suh1 This is great. Regarding structured content, the challenge is accessibility. If the component is for highly informative images (and that would be the dominant use case), don't we have an outstanding story about what the solution is for providing long-form text in addition to alt attribute? I'd call that a dependency for this story to be considered 'done.' But I think you said that's another team's scope?
