In the administrator mode for content types under 'Display Fields' it is possible to select 'MyImageCachePreset with link to Original'. It would be very handy, if there was also the option 'MyImageCachePreset with link to 'MyImageCachePreset2'.

Background: I have a content type "photogallery" and a preset "Thumbs". I have chosen Thumbs with link to Original in the Display fields setting. So far so good. But unfortunately some of the original images are very very big so that it would be better not to link to the original pictures but to another imagecache preset which resized the original images to an appropriate size.

You could use views to accomplish this:

In this order:

1. Create a new view

2. Add an image field - the one users should see after clicking the main image
- choose its imagecache settings
- check "Exclude from display"

3. Add an image field - the one that users will see at first
- choose its imagecache settings
- check "Rewrite the output of this field"
- use the proper token for the image you added in step #2.
