Comment (by jeremyclarke):

 FWIW I'd be satisfied with '''no''' UI for adding links in the popups.
 IMHO the bug was that it was impossible, so as long as me and my users can
 type in an <a> tag and have it work that's a huge step forward. The fact
 that people who don't know HTML can use the Visual editor is also very
 logical. While it may not be a perfect implementation, it's both pretty
 easy to figure out that the Visual editor can do it and dead-simple to
 explain to someone ("Oh, just use the WYSIWYG button after inserting the
 image"). Of course, having a UI would be good for promoting the fact that
 HTML works in captions now, but that doesn't seem like a huge priority to
 me especially while it's so new.

 Overall, I'd say if we can't get at least the quicktags (if not the full
 visual/html editor) then we're better off without a link button
 complicating the UI. To me it's more confusing to have just that one
 button than to have the whole row, because the row is already familiar and
 has a clear relationship to the textarea.

 Also, in the current 'add link' button hitting enter does not do what I'd
 expect. Instead of inserting the link it causes the whole popup to close
 and insert the image into the post. If we keep the 'add link' button (or
 integrate it into quicktags) it would be good to change that, as it was
 really confusing and I also lost my work on the link (not much work but
 still).
