Bruno, You sir are a Genius.
For reference for anyone else that comes accross this and needs the same facility.
Download Dynamic Dropdown TV from the repo
Create two TV's
1) call one albums
2) call one albumimages
albums TV as the folllowing:
Input Type: Dynamic DD
Parent: None
Drop Down Group: gallery_albums
albumimages TV
Input Type: Dynamic DD
Parent: albums
Drop Down Group: gallery_albums
dont forget if you are using these in MIGxdb to not assign them to a template - I havent tested a MIGx only setup.
Create two files:
getoptions.albums.php

Upload the two files to the directory:
components/dynamicdropdown/processors/mgr/gallery_albums/
Create a Chunk TVGalThumb
Now, if you want to use this in a template use this code:
||<img src="[[+image_absolute:phpthumbof=`&w=100&h=100`]]">==[[+image_absolute]]
||<img src="[[+image_absolute:phpthumbof=`&w=100&h=100`]]">==[[+id]]
