I've had this idea for a while, but I was afraid that there would be too many 
changes involved.

if we could integrate it somehow, this would be great.

The problem is, you can't add endless icons to the table. This would get ugly.

Another variable graph_url + icon would do the job. If someone wanted to have 
more urls they could still use the action urls.

how about an icon like this?
