Not exactly like that, but you can create image objects that only reference an
stored image somewhere, by setting it's fileName. So you could have a button
that references an id of an existing image object, which in turn references an
image on your hard disk. I suggest to look up the fileName dictionary entry,
barring that, here's an example (untested):
on mouseUp
create image
put it into theImageID
create button
put it into theButtonID
set the icon of button ID theButtonID to theImageID
answer file ""
if it <> "" then
set the fileName of image ID theImageID to it
end if
end mouseUP
