Subject: [Question]: Parsing attribute string

Dear list,
I have a quick question about parsing a string containing attributes.
My string has the following form
(setq my-string ":caption the caption :label fig-1 :width 10cm :something this is an extra option")
I'm looking for a function which produces an alist or plist with the option value pair.
(:caption "the caption"
:label "fig-1"
:width "10cm
:something "this is an extra option")
As org handels these string a lot when exporting, it seems to me
that there must exist a build in function to solve this task.
Kind regards,
Bob
