Displaying different favicon when opening images in browser window

I have a site that simply opens images in a browser with no page code:

www.mysite.com/images/pic.jpg

I want to add a different favicon when the pictures are opened in the browser window.

I tried putting the following inside the /images folder but no luck:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^favicon\.ico$ /images/favicon2.ico

Any ideas?

The browser always checks for favicon.ico in the root.

The only way of telling the browser to use another file is by putting <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/otherfavicon.ico"> inside html. So this will only work for html documents.

So when a picture is opened favicon.ico is shown, but when a webpage is opened otherfavicon.ico is shown.
