There's probably no reason why you couldn't continue to import images and swap them manually as button icons.

It does mean a little bit of thought probably needs to go into a new custom control scheme...  I'll raise on the engine list that relative paths for images should be looked for relative to the stackfile a behavior is on if they aren't found relative to the stackfile the image is on.
