That would be wrong. For example, if the image is three digits in a triangle
formation, and each digit is a link, and links 1 and 2 go to a page that says
"you lost" and link 3 goes to a page that says "you win", you would want the
alt="" attributes to be "1", "2", and "3" respectively, not "you lose", "you
lose" and "you win". Thus the target page doesn't have much to do with what the
links say in this case.
