Comment (by hellofromTonya):

 Merging @garrett-eclipse description from a duplicate ticket #51616:

 >On Media Modals the Alt Text has a description containing a link
 'Describe the purpose of the image.' that's a little misleading to new
 users. It feels less a description and information and more an action in
 that users click it thinking that's how one would describe the image but
 instead find it's just information.
 >
 >Could a little (i) icon be added to denote it as informational. Or could
 we adjust the language;
 >`_Alt Text_ describes the image purpose.`
 >*Where just the 'Alt Text' part is links.
 >This i feel would take the link off the action word which is what
 currently makes the link feel like an action and not just extra
 information.
 >
 >Love the concept of the feature just think we can remove the ambiguity of
 the link purpose.
