Assuming web2py is serving static files to begin with, I believe it does so very early in the process, before the session is read, etc. If you can add a flag to the URL (e.g., in the query string) only in cases where you need to offer the alternative (non-static) image, maybe you could handle that via the pattern-based rewrite system in routes.py (though that would prevent using the parameter-based system for other purposes).
