asset tag does not return asset object when used as "inline mode"

[dadaxr]

Bug description

According to the doc : https://statamic.dev/tags/asset we should be able to retrieve asset data from a path.

The doc example illustrate how to use the tag "block syntax" but when using the "inline syntax" it does not work as expected

block syntax :

{{ asset url="/img/brand/logo.png" }}
  <img src="{{ url }}" alt="{{ alt }}" />
{{ /asset }}

=> works as exptected :

but when using "inline mode", we only retrieve the path (which we already have obviously) :

{{ img = { asset url="/img/brand/logo.png" } }}

here the value of the "img" var is set to the "/img/brand/logo.png" string... and we cannot access asset data like width / ratio / alt etc.

From my point of view, we should be able to to something like that :

{{ img = { asset url="/img/brand/logo.png" } }}
img ratio is : {{ img.ratio }}
img alt is : {{ img.alt }}

How to reproduce

just use the above examples
