Properties of "select files" field type
I'd like to be able to access the properties of an image file in the "Select Files" field type. Stuff like the description, upload data, etc. Also, being able to use wrap="image" and wrap="link" would be nice.

Right now, the Select Files var type is designed so you can use it as a late parsed variable -- it stores the full URL to the image. Like that, you can use something like this:
<img src="{lv_my_select_files_var}">...and it would work.
Adding the features you mention will add more overhead to the processing, and might render the above not usable, because there will be unparsed {filedir_x} vars left.
But I'll consider it, especially if this request gets more support.
