Main product image not visible on single product after selecting variation

I’m trying to accomplish 2 things ini the single product page product image gallery:

1. show 1 additional product image for a single attribute (In woodmart I can only set them on variation level)
2. I want the parent products main product image to remain visible, instead of it getting swapped by the single attribute image when selected

For this, I purchased IconicWP’s Woothumbs. It should be compatible, as I read multiple support threads on this forum in which Woodmart users mention they are using it in addition to Woodmart.

Woothumbs offers both these functionalities, actually I only purchased the plugin for these 2 functionalities and not because of its image gallery widget itself.

However, i’m experiencing some trouble using it. It only seems to work with Elementor’s native product gallery widget, not with Woodmarts’ product gallery widget.

I really want to keep using Woodmart’s gallery widget, as its design and performance is great. I really need the 2 functionalities listed above though, as the main image of the parent product needs to be shown together with the variation image. Now, it just gets swapped after selecting the variation. Also, filling out images for all of my variations would be extremely time-consuming as i have thousands of them.

Is there a way to make these 2 functinoalities of the plugin compatible for Woodmart, or is there an alternative way to accomplish these things using woodmart and eventually some custom code?

Thanks very much in advance
