The point when the user can choose the desired "other image" does not require the full image, a name + thumbnail is all that's shown with the current implementation. If this requirement doesn't change, I don't see a problem. The thumbnails are there for the gallery anyway and the drop-down list could be just another instance/view of the very same gallery, maybe. Real access to the relevant image's content is only done when it's needed. And the gallery's entries would be in roughly chronological order wrt the last showing time anyway, I suppose.
