How do you trigger the painting of the border at all?
mouse over -> find related images -> pass a special flag to the delegate when 
painting? The view will know the left and right edge of this "selection" 
(which need not be contiguous btw)

The "icon" solution would be an alternative to the current stack. Advantage: 
It does not disturb the visual appearance as much; it provides a space to 
click on. But not on the thumbnail, preferably below in the information area? 
Or in a bottom corner? and not larger than two characters in the smallest 
readable font.

Have a look at ThemeEngine. The pixmap is prerendered there, there's a border 
color. It's probably not publicly available atm, but could.
