XMP metadata can store Alt Text and other information. Usually the XMP
Description field is used for Alt Text, but that's not carved in stone
anywhere.
You do need a program that allows the user to access the file's metadata to
write the Alt Text (example, Adobe Bridge software that comes with their
Creative Suite subscription), and on the back end, you need the destination
program that will pull the XMP Alt Text into the file (example, Adobe
InDesign).
