Change dataflow table icons depending on linked, computed, or standard table when pulling into dataset

In Power BI Desktop if you pull from a Power BI dataflow you end up with the same icon for every table. The only problem is when you're using a Power BI Premium Dataflow you have multiple types of tables that can be created (standard, linked, computed) however, when pulling them into a dataset in Power BI you only see them as the same type of table which is standard. This can be confusing as you could pull in the wrong information or translations. You can name your tables in a custom manner, but from a UI perspective it would make much more sense to read the type information and produce an icon similar to what is in the Power BI service.
