Option to use image's metadata (IPTC/exif) in caption #24

Hi, it would be great to be able to use references to the image's metadata (IPTC/exif) , as provided by the media manager, in the caption.

The tags from detail.php could be used for this.

For example

<figure>
{{:Stuff:kuschelpanzer.jpg|cuddle tanks}}
<caption>@Iptc.Caption Photographed with @Exif.Model at @Exif.DateTime by @Exif.Artist</caption>
</figure>

Hi, Excellent idea. From your example, I assume the following idea for a general syntax:

metadata tags start with '@'
metadata tag naming follows exactly the scheme given at detail.php

Things that seem important to me when adding this functionality:

How to deal with misspelled/nonexisting tags?

Currently, I'm rather busy with other things, but any pull requests or code ideas would be more than welcome.
