Can I use grouped objects as an icon button?

I think there needs to be a profile like the Master Profiles but for graphics for buttons and font sizes for fields and buttons so that if my geometry changes like for a retina screen then LC can change the image used for each button to the hi-res version. I am doing this manually now but is a pain. At this point I don't think there is an 'easy' way yet.
