Hi Jeremy, I wonder if I'm missing the point, but in the applib you can specify the icon for an entity at runtime using the "iconName" method [1][2]
Using that method you can perform any kind of run-time algorithm to return the name of the icon file. Unfortunately the file needs to exist in one of the default search directories, which is possibly a limiting factor. I suppose that if you want to serve the icons directly from the database, you would need to replace the current implementation.
