I got a coffee table comparable to pic related. The top is perfectly rectangular and flat. I want to put some photos on the table and put a flat glass plate on top. Now I got two questions:
How would I fixate the glass plate? I want it to be detachable so you can easily exchange the photos. I thought about the kind of clips you use to assemble frameless picture frames or clip frames. But they just usually go to a thickness of ~10mm, and tabletop and glass plate together are ~36mm.
Can you put cups with hot beverages on glass plates? If not, are common coasters enough to keep the glass safe?
Picture the related, the type of frame clip I mean.

Don't use clips, if the table is level the glass should stay easily, if you want a little more stay grab a hot glue gun, put a little dot of hot glue at each corner of the glass, let it dry on just the glass. The hot glue rubbery dots will act as little friction pads
>Can you put cups with hot beverages on glass plates? If not, are common coasters enough to keep the glass safe?
Yes. Common coasters are fine
But you don't want normal plate glass, go to your local Glasser and special order a tempered sheet the size of your table you alternatively can specify "furniture glass" but some glasser's don't recognize that distinction
Generally speaking furniture glass is just tempered glass, has decent thermal shock resistance etc.
