It would require a platform-specific external to display the Mac Finder
icons, but you could use generic folder and file icons as in Fetch, Graphic
Converter, and others by simply including the images in your stack and then
adding a character ("say, "f" for "File" and "d" for "Directory") and a tab
before each line in your list, then walking through the list setting the
imageSource of the character to match the ID of the appropriate icon image.
