As an addendum: What I proposed is similar to the strategy currently implemented for MIME-types. There’s a generic "image" MIME-type icon that subsumes all sub-types of images until all those myriads of image types can be provides by special icons. I propose to add a generic "do action" icon that is a placeholder for the possible later "do $ACTION" icons.
