You can just do what the 'Import Control...' feature does when given an
SVG file from the message box (or even in a script in your stack you can
run when updating the SVG files):

   set the text of image ... to drawingSvgCompileFile(<svg file path>)

We're adding support for 'currentColor' in SVG fill/stroke attributes
in the next non-maintenance version - this will allow you to do:

   <path style="fill: currentColor" ... />

Then you will be able to set the backColor of the image object you
import the SVG into to change the color of the fill or stroke attributes
referencing it.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
