Can _graphic properties shared across plugins exist in a single schema instead of duplicating across plugin schemas?

Subject of the issue

Currently _graphic properties are defined for each plugin schema e.g. src, alt and attribution. Can these exist in a single schema instead of duplicating across plugin schemas? e.g content schema.

Plugins using the jsx image template support all image properties but not all properties exist within the schema. For example, all images support multi device sources however schemas only support the initial sources the plugin was developed to support. GMCQ supports small and large, whilst Accordion only supports src.
If we wanted to support all image source properties within the AAT, we'd currently have to add them to each plugin schema. I'd be interested to hear peoples thoughts and ideas on this.

Relates to Menu item support for responsive image sources PR.

Sounds like a good idea, keeps everything consistent and easy to manage with it being in one place. We currently $merge the schemas but presumably we could just $ref the image schema where needed.

There are instances where a single image schema would not fit. The image.jsx is a series of use-cases all bound together, it isn't necessary to use all of its features in every situation. Such as attribution in boxmenu. It may be that we need a couple/few variations of image.

Thanks both and good point @oliverfoster that not all properties will apply to all instances/plugins.

It may be that we need a couple/few variations of image.

I'd be happy to look into this and report back...
