I'm not 100% sure of the implementation, I might have miss something,

Has any version of this been implemented? I cannot tell from the multiple threads.

It seems like the most glaring omission in features. Each of my notes already have icon and icon-color properties. This is the most evergreen method, as each note is capable of telling anything looking what its icon should be. Why would I want to manually recreate these rules one-by-one in a third-party utility? The information is already there.

Am I overlooking something in settings?

This feature hasn't been added, no @brianoftoledo

There's nothing special holding it up, I'm just prioritizing and testing other features at the moment.

Just dropping a comment in there for visibility.
With Notebook Navigator becoming one of the most popular plugins in the community, this feature would be very welcomed as it currently does not read Iconic icons. It can, however, read icons from the frontmatter and as such, adding this feature to Iconic would create compatibility with Notebook Navigator.

Thanks for making this plugin! I have some experience with plugin development myself. Is there any tasks I can do to help this get merged?

Using collaborative tools to share notes, this would indeed be wonderful, so that the whole team can share icons on files
