If your images will be always modified only automatically and only
selected by users, you might want to use Data Module for this rather
then DMS module. In this case you would implement ImportHandler (sample
class is part of the data module) and you can have it executed
automatically by Magnolia or manually from Admin Interface

In this case you would want to develop your own control and then use
this control in the dialog. You can have a look at how Magnolia's Link
or UUIDLink control is done. This control is capable of displaying tree
of documents in Website/DMS/Data workspace and let editor to select
document of choice. You would perhaps want to change the display part to
show list of thumbnails rather then a tree.
