While I can't keep it up to date, I actually do have a good start at
such a reference. See this page:
http://www.mindspring.com/~ffilz/Lego/castle-details.html for example. I
have made some effort to index pictures from MOCs which include
interesting details.
I would love to find a way to split this indexing task up so that a
complete index could be made. An easy start would be for folks to try
and document their own tricks. When posting a new creation, think about
creating a page which collects pictures which illustrate interesting
details or construction methods.
Another way is for folks to ask for ideas with some problem, and then
watch the responses and index the pages referenced.
