Images: Support for drag-and-drop multiple images onto image block #9783

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When adding images, I look for the right block and choose "Image" because it is prominent. I then drag-and-drop images onto the block, but no matter how many images I selected only one image is uploaded.

When I drag-and-drop multiple images I usually want to create a gallery, or I want to quickly upload multiple single images. The cognitive load of getting this right is frustrating for a single image versus a gallery versus multiple individual images.

Describe the solution you'd like

I primarily would like a solution that retains multiple images even when I drag-and-drop them onto a single image block.

One possibility could be that if you drag-and-drop multiple images onto an image block it creates separate image blocks for each image (that could then be transformed into a gallery if your intent was to create a gallery).
