Modify Featured Content Panel

No, panels are not editable

Ok.  We had an ask to be able to get alt text for the uploaded image for accessibility purposes.

Hi Luke, do you mean you would like to have an extra field to fill in alt-text while adding a new slide?

So:

Title
Description
Link
Upload image
Alt text 

The only supported ways to achieve behavior beyond what is there is to modify the actual carousel widget with potential configuration to pull information already known fromt he featured item(or just add it programmatically), or to create a widget outside of the panel to do the featuring.  Adding a field to a panel is not going to help as the field would have nowhere to be stored nor a way to become part of the feature pipeline.

Thanks Patrick.  That is what I was thinking would have to happen.
