I think what you are looking for are tokens and their usage. I'll just
describe what I do for configuring my new images and hope this will help
you:

I select the images that I want to configure and open them with the image
viewer. Going through the images I give each image a view tokens (like M
for every picture where Martin can be seen, or P for every part-picture).

When done with this I go back to the browser window and select all picture
in Tokens -> M, click "Configure all images" and select the keyword I want
for this token. Repeat this for all assigned tokens and you're done.

I hope I understood you question right and this is what you want.
