Stereotype icon attribute and image manager

[kepNCI]

When using the icon attribute to assign a 16x16 image for either a custom toolbox or the project browser, you must enter the full path of the image file as the string value of the stereotypte's icon" attribute. I assume the image is then embedded in the resulting xml.

Is there a way to reference an image in the EA Image Manager instead of a file for the icon attribute?  
If so, would the image still be embedded in the resutling xml?
