Column tags/icons

As part of self-service BI, some of our users can make and publish their own analyses. Therefore they have access to a subject area.
They have asked for certain column to be tagged in a certain way, for example 'Sensitive information', 'Snowflake' etc, which are important to be mindful of at build time. Instead of adding this as text in the column name (clutter), preferred is a more intuitive way.
Feature request:
- (RPD) Developers should be able to upload and configure images to be used as column tags;
- (RPD) Every column tag should have a configurable mouse-over text;
- (RPD) Developers should be able to attach one or more column tags to a presentation column;
- (Analytics) The column tags should be visible to users with the columns in the subject area, and mouse-over should show the configured text.
Below is a mock-up of how it could look like.

In the Workbook editor, RPD columns have a description option that will show up in the column's tooltip (=configurable mouse-over text). You can use that to show any information that might be relevant. Some customers use a supported special character to indicate specific status.
