It would be really useful for there to be SDK calls to get thumbnails and/or previews, along with LrView factory methods to format and display them.
Sometimes the easiest way to explain something in a UI is to show it.

Here's my silly use case: I want to allow users to set the primary photo for publish collection via a remote API call. I piggy-back a check-box on the back of the [Collection] Edit... dialogue to have the current selection be used as the primary photo.
It would be nice to display a little thumbnail of the currently set primary photo for reference.
In this case I can think of a number of terrible workarounds. Ideally, we just need access to the thumbnail rendition (maybe via LrPhoto?)
I'm finding a lot of the UI we have for the publish services leaves the user sort of guessing what they are doing. There is a fair amount of implicit behaviour and shoe-horning functionality into odd places where we can hook our stuff in.

There needs to be another banner for "work-around identified" ;-}
