 Sometimes it is required to further process the final HTML output of the
 media related shortcodes, eg {{{caption}}} or {{{gallery}}}, so as to add
 extra HTML code such as enclosing div or span elements or just modify the
 existing HTML code during run time.

 For instance the final output of {{{img_caption_shortcode}}} could be
 filtered:

 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.4.2/src/wp-
 includes/media.php#L1537

 Passing all relevant image attachment data, like ID and size, would also
 be very useful.

 I hope that I am not missing anything but right now the only way to insert
 code inside the {{{<figure>}}} or {{{<figcaption>}}} block seems to be the
 complete override of the {{{img_caption_shortcode}}} function.
