How to get the Image alternative text on PDF document alternative text field through the latex code

Question

I have mentioned my MWE below. I will try to get the alternative text output for each figures. So, i am using the pdfcomment package and my TeX code is used to pdftooltip{\includegraphics{example-image-duck}}{Alternative Text}.

MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{pdfcomment}
\begin{document}
\section{PDF comment alt text not working on PDF accessbility alternative text}
\begin{figure}[!h]
\centering\pdftooltip{\includegraphics{example-image-duck}}{Alternative Text}
\caption{Sample Figure Cation.}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Could, you please advise how to get the text in alternative text field through latex code.

pdfcomment adds annotation widgets, not alternative text. One can add alternative text for example with the accsupp package, but it doesn't look as if adobe pro recognize this.
