Custom Icon for a file

maccadamia

I am creating a file (desktop shortcuts) from my app that is essenially a .webloc file but I want to
give it a custom icon.

Is there a Cocoa way of doing this? I want to avoid using resource forks or Carbon.
Are there any plists that I need to modify?

thanks for any help.

cheers..
