File icons for QuickPickItem

It would be great if the QuickPickItem also can specify an icon as well as a file icon from the file icon themes.

+1 for this.

I am aware this is an old and stale feature request but what happened to this? I see it's still open and no further comments have been posted.

We allow a custom TreeView to define a resourceUri for the TreeItem. It that's set the item will get the icon that matches that the given resource.

We should add a similar API for QuickPickItem

I would love to see this feature added. To elaborate on my use-case: I'm working on QuickPick component to open files for a custom FileSystemProvider. The QuickPick component for my file systems is very difficult to use compared to the native Go to file... command because the file extension icons are missing. I have implemented a tree view via TreeDataProvider and it looks and feels almost native thanks to resourceUri.

+1, may be add a property resouceUri to QuickPickItem?

+1, I've been waiting for this feature for a long time.
My use-case, I'm working on a ScratchPads extension that allows you to open a scratchpad file outside your code keeping your code clean.
When the user wants to open a scratchpad he can select the file type of the file and I'd really like to show the file type icon as well.
