Why simulate? How about:
<a id="sn" href="sn.jpg" title="see full pic"><img src="sn_thumb.jpg"
alt="Starry Night" /></a>
#sn {
position:absolute; /* this sets display:block; */
top:...; left:...;
}
#sn img {display:block;}

Do /what/ with an LI?
Create a list of abs positioned thumbnails?
Because of the often frisky behavior of LI elements in IE, I'd recommend
giving the UL position:relative (to make it the positioned container),
giving the LI's display:block and using the above to position the anchors.
In this arrangement, the LIs will just sit empty, which is fine.
