Description

### What is the idea?
Is it possible to specify the icons for `file_extensions` separately from the icon used for the shortcut? Normally, the shortcut would be the application icon, and the files would be a separate document icon. But I don't quite see how to do that? It seems like when I set `icon` it's used for both.
If not possible, it would be nice feature.
### Why is this needed?
Normal application conventions.
### What should happen?
Additional `document_icon` key(s) in the `.json` file to specify the icon(s) to use for the `file_extensions`.
### Additional Context

Research direction
Start by locating where menu item JSON definitions read the existing icon and file_extensions fields, then trace how icons are installed for each supported platform. Define the document_icon field behavior and verify that application shortcuts retain icon while associated files use the document icon.
