How to simplify this modal code with loop in javascript

Question

I am trying to open a modal when an image is opened. The code here is working but I want to find a way to simplify this or shortened the code just in case there are more images with modals to be opened in the future.

I am thinking if the loop can be used to simplify this but I am very new to Javascript and still have a lot to learn that's why I need help on this.

Get all the images, add an event listener and the set whatever needed with the target element - which is clicked one
