Comment:

 When you use the visual editor to add a link to the caption text it is
 stripped out when saving but you can edit the caption attribute in the
 HTML view and it will save.

 I have found several people talking about it:

 http://www.priceplow.com/wordpress-link-in-image-caption
 http://www.transformationpowertools.com/wordpress/hyperlinks-in-wordpress-
 image-captions
 http://blogwip.com/images/adding-linked-captions-images-wordpress/

 Looking through the code and it appears to be the "wpeditimage" TinyMCE
 JavaScript plugin that is replacing all HTML tags in the contents of the
 caption attribute:


 {{{
 h=h.replace(/<\S[^<>]*>/gi,"").replace(/'/g,"&#39;").replace(/"/g,"&quot;");
 }}}
