Prerequisites
What problem is your feature request going to solve? Please describe..
I work on a site with 600+ photo galleries that explain rare medical disorders and treatment methods. These are very visual and complex examples, meaning there needs to be supportive text to explain what is going on in each image. The title attribute is used to describe what number image it is in the sequence, and its overall context. The caption attribute is used to explain what is going on in the image. Below is a screenshot of a third-party plugin that I use, which gives me the desired effect. However, this plugin is very bulky and adds too much code to my site.

Describe the solution you'd like.
If Elementor adds the option to display both an image title and caption for the Image Carousel widget—or even in the recently released Carousel Widget—I would be able to get rid of the bulky third party plugin and drastically reduce the amount of CSS and JS loaded on my site.
Describe alternatives you've considered.
I have tried looking into the backend code to see if I can call up both caption and title parameters with a custom code block, but I am not familiar enough with coding to find this information.
I also tried using the Gallery widget, which does include both a title and description field. However, this text is only displayed on a hover overlay. For some of my images with 150+ characters, much of the text gets cut off when the overlay is active. See attachment for an example of the Gallery Widget.

Also, there is no option to paginate the gallery, which is a feature I am also looking to help visually simplify my gallery heavy pages.
Additional context
Here is a screenshot of the current setup with the Elementor Carousel widget. In the Caption feature on the left of the image, there is only the option to toggle between title, description, etc.
