Curious if it's technically possible to render a products attributes in the status message as opposed to where they are normally found? That way when a user adds an item to their cart they are asked to choose options from each attribute. I noticed that the overlay's disappear automatically, so that may be one potential issue for a required selection.

For the Catalog and Views listing approaches this may be a nice option to present less clutter on the user interface. On the full node view it doesn't make as much sense, but I will be looking into this possibility for a project and will most definitely share any patches for a general settings based approach.

Any suggestions or potential pitfalls before I get started are more than welcome, otherwise this is just an issue to track potential progress. Thanks.

After a little hacking, this is not only possible but has been accomplished. It's not in a state that can be shared yet as I have been making the required changes in a discovery type mode, but I will be refactoring it to make it a module setting and contributable patch. To me, this is a huge feature addition that will require very little change and is likely an option that others will appreciate. More info and a patch soon.
