Research direction

Start with the requested image metadata example and inspect the repository for the existing file/node attribute display path. The issue does not identify files, tests, supported file types, or a complete attribute list, so first define that scope. Done should mean the agreed file-specific metadata is displayed consistently and covered by relevant tests.
