Comment:

 My two cents: I think it is valuable to be able to view a gallery one
 image at a time using the attachment page, and navigating using next_ and
 previous_image_link(), which in its current implementation requires the
 same post parent on all images.

 Hopefully this can be solved reliably later via #22960, #23044 and others.

 In the meantime the original proposal in this ticket would offer an
 improvement. I was thinking along two ways of solving this. Either via a
 new AJAX call when the gallery is inserted or possible better (and
 simpler?) when the post is updated, by parsing the content for gallery
 ids. The latter way could be implemented as a plugin, if desired.

 Setting "Uploaded to this post" as default as in attachment:23041.diff is
 better than nothing. Even better would be a possibility to disable the
 (All) "Images" option (by a theme/plugin), which is really the option that
 causes all trouble. - But this would exclude unattached images, which is
 not ideal, so these should be possible to include in some way, which is
 probably not easy to come up with at this time...
