Is there a way to display image attachments in a view?

I am developing an XPages application that displays an image library.
 
Each document contains a single image attachment, and then I am using a simple repeat control to display a matrix of thumbnails.
 
This works perfectly on the Web, and the images are displayed using a calculated reference such as... 
 
'/'+database.getReplicaID()+'/0/'+rowData.getUniversalID()+'/$FILE/'+rowData.getColumnValue('attachmentName') 
 
However, this does not translate well with the Lotus Notes client.
I can't remember ever being able to display image attachments from a document in a view.
 
I am just wondering if there is something I am missing that would help me to produce this solution for both clients (browser and Lotus Notes)? 
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Terry,
 
A solution would be to create an XPage and add a data table control to it. Use the view as a data source for the data table and add an image control to one of the columns in the data table. Compute the URL of the image and either use a column value from the view as the URL or compute it.

This may be a little late, but...
 Thanks heaps Paul!
 
This worked perfectly. 
 
With a little modification (instantiating the applicationScope variable once on page open to avoid hundreds of calls using a repeat control), it was fast and rendered the images well.
 
Cheers!
