Product attribute with hundreds of options

Hi,

I have a client who sells custom-made products (stationery, t-shirts, &c.,). and for EVERY product in their catalog the customer has the option of adding one or more Clip Art items from a list.

The problem is that there are HUNDREDS of possible items to choose for clip art.  If I just had an attribute called "Clip Art" with checkbox list you can imagine what a horrible product page would result.

Is there currently a recommended way of handling a situation like this?

Thanks!
Eric

I'm sorry to say, but this sounds like something that will need to be custom coded.
