Create gallery + use existing media library to add items (3 posts)

    Hi fellas,

    I've got a site running, which uses a piece of custom code to automatically scan a post for attachments. Works nicely. But now I have to be able to add a gallery to a post without adding a [gallery] into the post content. Is there some sort of plugin available that extends the attachments' possibilities? Ive been searching for a few days now and still nothing that does the trick and I'm still wayyyyyy to novice in WordPress (been at it for 3 weeks now) to create the functionality myself by extending the core. So in short do you know of a way to:
    1- attach a gallery to a post without [gallery]
    2- attach existing media items to said gallery without [gallery postid=? attachmentID=?]

    The gallery and attachments themselves just need to be linked, my code extracts it automatically and places them nicely above the content already (in combination with lightbox 2).

    Site that I'm working on is http://www.apeldoorndirect.nl if you'd like an example, just browse through the posts untill you find a post with more than 1 image.

    Thx in advance!!!

    (example of what i need can be seen here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/567814/all-i-need.jpg -> none of these images are actually put into the content of the post, just as a gallery right there, though this one was created manually by, for the so manieth time, uploading the images)

    Sorry that plugin really doesn't work. Tried it, it even disables the Lightbox 2 plugin I had running, or creates a conflict I don't know. Pictures look fancy though so will remember it for a future project to give it another shot with that one.
