Description
Problem
While Views and select options have icons, regular Entities don't have any. This limits the customization opportunities and produces a less sexy UI when Entities are used in place of selects and Docs:
Tag-like DBs, possible shared between multiple related DBs:
Entity-based wiki where some extra Fields are needed (ex. Maintainer, Status)
Currently, we have to add emojis into Entities' names:
This produces a messier UI and makes export and auto-linking challenging.
Solution
?entity-icons

โ might be the current Emoji Field but with some flag indicating it's a primary one
Pick an icon for an Entity
on Entity View
in emoji unit
๐ฆ elsewhere
This would be useful for Display a to-many relation as compact list on Entity View: think emojis for Teams/Segments/Tags.

Notes
We already have an Emoji Field (hold alt when creating a new Field) and it's nicely displayed on some Views:

Preserve Document's icon when converted to Entity if Icon Field is present on the Entity's DB
