Hi

Search is restricted to what you have permission to read at the API layer.
You can code to do what you want but bit is not exposed in the public API.
There is no way of asking for authentication depending on what you try and view.

The lower level permissions are available to do what you want (read properties, read children and read content). Again, they are not exposed with the current API. They are grouped together as Read and exposed as Consumer at the moment.

You can link things as parent-child relationships or via associations.

There are several ways:

1) Create the images as non folder/content types (then they should not be shown)

2) Add your own aspect defining your own parent-child relationship that differs from the one defined in file/folder. These should not be shown.

3) Manage the images via non child associations.
