There is no way to do that in a truly logical fashion. Yeah, you could use
javascript, but what about the non-jsers? Furthermore, how would you go
about _selecting_ a _thumbnail_ without triggering the link except by
punching keys? It just isn't a good idea.
The way to accomplish your ultimate goal is to use very "thin" thumbs -
small in physical and file-size. With the proper care (-and graphics
programs), one can construct thumbnails having a filesize of 2-2.5 kb or
less that look pretty decent. Even Irfanview, a free program, will do this
and well.
PS: If you need to "fill" the page, use css for borders, etc.
