Dot notation for Post Thumbnail title and Caption

[pd-cm]

Problem to Solve

As found in this thread: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-title-and-description/

And this Slack post: https://podswp.slack.com/archives/C02SVLHQF/p1675292247157559

{@post_thumbnail.post_content} and {@post_thumbnail.post_excerpt} both don't work

Proposed Solution

Adding the dot notation for thumbnails would be nice.

Possible Workaround

{@ID,get_the_post_thumbnail_caption} works. Hopefully {@relationship_field.ID,get_the_post_thumbnail_caption} also works.

Confirming that {@relationship_field.ID,get_the_post_thumbnail_caption} works for pulling the Caption.

This was originally supported but there was a bug causing it to not work as expected.
