[TYPO3-dam] Showing image/filelink just with typoscript

[Peter Klein]

Hi Jonas. I wrote a small userfunction a couple days ago that can get info 
from the DAM records using Typoscript, as I needed a way to set the 
title/alt attributes of the image, to the content of the DAM records 
alt/title field.

If you are interested, I can send you a copy?
