I have tried to use live captions with images anchered in the text, but I can't get it work, it seems impossible, and I can't find any information about it.

I works okey if the images are in separate frames, but not in the text frames.

Is it a bug or is not implemented??

That's how it works - for now.

It might be possible to script it - but I am not a scripter.

You can make a feature request here

If you do - I have no problem supporting it.

Create images with the captions not as anchored frames. Then group them and now you can anchor them.

That is not a quick and smart way to use live captions, if that is the only way to do it, then it is more easy to use the old way to make captions!

Live Captions can be useful but they have limitations. Here are a couple articles which explain:
