link= was implemented to stop people from mis-using <imagemap> to link files to other places beside the file description page. |
However, <imagemap> allows specifying alt text while using |link= does not. See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=252640097&oldid=252620105
It should be possible to use |alt= when |link= is used.
