Alternate text for images in output xml / html

Is it possible to provide the alt text of images (if they have one) in the ouput XML as well.

According to this SO post.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12525883/accessing-alternate-text-for-an-image-via-pdfbox

the alt text is not located near the image but in the StructTreeRoot. So in order to get it we need to traverse through the pdf structure.

If it's not possible currently how should we approach this? Would it be a lot of work? I am not a C++ developer but I can give it a try if it's more or less trivial.
