SelectFeature only works on OpenLayers.Layer.Vector. So vector layers only, no 
image layers.

I think what you are looking for is OpenLayers.Control.WMSGetFeatureInfo, but 
the real drill-down (on several services) is only available in OpenLayers 
trunk, see:

http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/2091

Ofcourse this will only work for services that support WMS (and the 
GetFeatureInfo request).

Best regards,
Bart
