Pandoc: applying a style to all images when exporting to docx?

I used to ask this question a few years ago, and back then it was not possible to apply a style to all images when exporting to docx using Pandoc.

Today, I wonder whether this still is true? I tried a bit using Pandoc 2.9.x, and images still seem to have applied the generic "Normal" style:

It would be nice to have a style like "Picture" which is applied to each image in the docx. Any way to do this?

Images by themselves cannot have any style, you have to wrap an image into a block, that can have custom attributes. I replace figure elements with a pair of an image and a caption, something like this:

funFigure = function(element)
    local attrfigure = pandoc.Attr( "", { }, {{"custom-style", "Picture" }} )
    local attrfiguretext = pandoc.Attr( "", { }, {{"custom-style", "Picture Caption" }} )
    local figuretext = pandoc.Div(pandoc.Para(element.content[1].caption), attrfiguretext)
    element.content[1].caption = pandoc.Null
    local figure = pandoc.Div(element, attrfigure)
    return { figure, figuretext }
end
