Tufte margin caption effect with floatrow

Question

This is the standard beside caption from floatrow, for comparison:

You can use the sidecaption package.

\documentclass[twoside]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{sidenotes}

\usepackage[a4paper,left=24.8mm,top=27.4mm,headsep=2\baselineskip,textwidth=107mm,marginparsep=8.2mm,marginparwidth=49.4mm,textheight=49\baselineskip,headheight=\baselineskip]{geometry} % tufte-handout definitions


\begin{document}
    \begin{figure*}
        \sidecaption{My caption}
        \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example-image-a}
    \end{figure*}

\end{document}

However, be aware that in many cases you will have to tweak margin sizes to obtain a decent balance in the page.
