Setting "sync" icons in file explorer

Been trying to find information regarding this but it doesn't seem to be a built-in file attribute, from what I've been able to find?

Is it possible to add an icon to the existing file icons?

As @AlexK. said, it is Icon Overlay Handlers for normal files but for cloud based placeholder files, there is a desktop4:DesktopIconOverlayHandlers element. Also see the question for some exploration.
