Whether or not the accessible description is announced by Orca is 
generally configurable in Orca's settings. But it turns out that even 
when announcing descriptions is enabled in Orca, the description is not 
announced for objects in LibreOffice.

It turns out that this was explicitly disabled in Orca for LibreOffice 
(except for "WhereAmI" mode) in the past, in this commit:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/orca/-/commit/1121a27b10b4b5804c90f616154514cdce30d246

If I remove that locally for testing, Orca does announce the image 
description as well when the image gets focus via Shift+F4.

If it's desirable to have descriptions announced, eliminating the 
unnecessary "chattiness" observed in the past (if it's still known what 
that is) and then changing Orca to announce descriptions again might be 
a way forward.

@joanie: Any thoughts on that?
