 There are many complaints about no default option for inserted images to
 link to a media file (set none by default). Any working solution?

 * If I have to add 50 photos I should click link-media file 50 times,
 instead of setting up default value.. Old version (classic editor) had
 ways to set this default link, but old method doesn't work with Gutenberg
 🙁

 I saw

 https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-link-to-media-file-by-default/
 https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-the-pics-link-be-set-to-media-
 file-by-default/
 https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-links-to-images-in-wordpress-5/

 and others, all closed/left, no working solution for 2 years
 any ideas?
