Hi @Karthik SG ,

Thanks for reaching out. I am not a scripting expert however I found a similar discussion on the community which you can refer to here https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/script-to-replace-images-with-their-names/m-p/11... 

If that's not what you're looking for, I am leaving this discussion open for expert suggestions.
