Description

### Describe the problem

I really appreciate the screenshot feature in weblate - it is very helpful to provide critical context for translators. I screenshot new strings in context as I add them to my project.

What is a bit frustrating is that afterwards I have to onto weblate and add the screenshots one by one.

### Describe the solution you would like

If I add a new screenshot to the repository under the path specified screenshot path (e.g. as per project settings / Screenshot file mask ), where the name matches the string id e.g. string_id.png , then automatically associate this screenshot with the string id.

### Describe alternatives you have considered

Adding screenshots manually one by one.

Research direction

Start by tracing how Weblate reads the configured screenshot path or file mask and how uploaded screenshots are associated with strings. The feature is complete when a repository screenshot whose filename matches a string ID is automatically associated with that string, while manual association remains available.
