Suggestion for Supporting Photos

This just sprung into my mind. Would it be technically possible to make it, well, impossible for submitters to use the same photo as both the main and supporting photos, by have a rudimentary system that compares the supporting photo to the already-uploaded main photo? And, if they're identical in some way (the exact same size in bytes, have the exact same title in the phone's storage, etc. - whatever is easier to code), prevents the submission process from going on until the submitter offers a different photo? Accompanied with some sort of educational error message?

It won't solve all problems that are related to the use of the same photo for both main/supporting photos (be it coal, low effort nominations, or 3rd party photos), but I think it should be a good enough partial solution - or at least one that's faster to code and integrate into the submitting process until something more comprehensive can be developed.
