Description

When cleaning up duplicate images, it's often useful to manually select some to be reviewed.

However, even if you do "set all combinations as possible duplicates", they won't appear in the duplicate filter if they are part of existing alternates/duplicates (or possibly other conditions).

Please consider an option to send selected files directly to the duplicate filter for review, regardless of whether they have existing duplicates or alternates (or alternatively indicate such in the duplicates filter screen).

NB: This is semi-related to #803 but not really.

Research direction

Start by tracing the manual file-selection flow and the duplicate filter's handling of existing alternates and duplicates. Define how selected files are sent for review regardless of those conditions, then verify that the selected files appear in the duplicate filter as requested.
