Is this for a rig? E.g. animators select part of the mesh for visual feedback? It's actually quite cool, but sadly I've only seen this used once before. 8 years ago, in The Art Of Rigging by Cg Toolkit <http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rigging-Definitive-Character-Technical-Direction/dp/0976800306> .
Their site is down, but they go through how they do it on one of their dvd, possibly vol 1. Maybe that could help. And if not, the series is amazing and should be viewed anyway.
