A script in illustrator that will create text that matches the file name of a raster image (jpg)

I don't know if this is somethig that's possible. But at my work I have a lot of survey photos I have to place in with my artwork. Usually the file names of the photos have information that I have to re-type. So say there's a photo of an empty patch of land, the file name will be named something like 'sign placed here left of hydrant'. I have to go and re-type that. I'm wondering if it's possible to create a script that can just generate that text? Thanks for any help.

You may be able to use my addLinkedFileNames.jsx script, which was written for similar purposes.
