If...product options were added as normal and instead of showing the normal drop down box etc it listed each product option with an image and a buy now button. This buy now button contains all the code that would normally be associated within the product.tpl template form and the code for the option.
The image could draw on one of the detailed images so a separate mechanism for that would not be required.
This would not then need many mods to the backend php coding and makes it very doable as ADP says.
Give me a pm if you want a quote for it
