It can't be done as Wayne said - the only thing I can
think of is to have a text list appear in the dropdown
(or multiple list) and then depending on which is
selected a small image appears beside the dropdown
(with javascript). I used this method before and it
worked ok. 

Along the lines of...

<select name="picture" size="1"
onChange="showimage()">

<option value="horse.gif">Picture of a horse</option>
<option value="cow.gif">Picture of a cow</option>

</select>

The showimage function would then display the image -
you could even specify where each image links to. 

If you want the code in full let me know.
