More gallery widgets

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

There is a carousel, but it does not provide an overview. I would like to be able to insert a gallery-tag with the number of images per row from a certain gallery. Like gallery: xxxx|width 3|name
There should also be the option to display the name and/or description, or nothing, under the image.
Maybe it could even be possible to use the tags in a gallery to filter the images to display?    

How does this feature request address the current situation?

I have coats of arms / crests for all my countries. I want an overview page of all coats of arms, and I am a huge fan of automated updates, meaning I want to have everything in a gallery in a grid on a page without me having to update specific pages every time a coat of arms is added or removed.
   

What are other uses for this feature request?

I also have situations where I have people from a group, citizens in a town, and so on. It would be very nice if I could have them displayed with their portraits in such a widget.

   

Sub-request/technical consideration

It would be nice to reach the article from there, but then comes the dilemma of using a gallery or a list of articles as the base. Naturally, it only works on articles with this type of image, like countries and people, and you might want to display a gallery with images other than those. 
  It would be nice to be able to use those images more as visual landmarks, though.   Thank you for your fantastic site.

I don't know if I can paste links here, but this page contains what I would like to have more automized with a widget: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/vAruld-desnordlund/a/coat-of-arms---countries-article

    I like this suggestion - Maybe the technical consideration you mentioned can be achieved with the already existing "Image URL" - This is how I currently do it for my carousels: I put the relevant article URL into that field (reached by clicking "advanced edit" on images).
