My solution
Back then, I solved this with a very convoluted workaround: first, dump all entries (or at least the 1000 most recent ones) using an <mt:entries> tag, then use the <mt:entryassets> tag to get the images in question. All this was then put into a large hash with the asset id as key, after which I looped over this hash by key and displayed the relevant entry information.
This works fine, as long as the number of entries is not too large, and eventually it becomes slow.
You'll also notice I don't provide a code example. Here is why:
The better solution
Byrne Reese of Endevver recently released a plugin named 'ExtraTags'. One of the extra tags this plugin adds to your Movable Type installation is... <mt:AssetEntries>. Thanks to Byrne, no more slow-publishing kludgy workaround templates are needed anymore to get the entries related to an asset. Which is nice.
