That would be a very confusing way to overload C-x v i.  But if what
you actually want is a way to edit the marked set without doing a directory
listing, that might be arranged.

Possible UI sketch:

C-x v +  = Add the visited buffer to the selection set.

C-x v -  = Remove the visited buffer from the selection set.

C-x v ?  = Display the current selection set.
