Status indicating icons for assets

Vote:

In pages tree there is status indicating icons (etc. for expired content):

But on the assets pane (blocks, media, forms) trees there are no icons for status indication so I can't ditinguish expired content from live content.

Is there any way to indicate wether content is expired for blocks and media?

Or a way to modify widget and draw icons by custom logic?

Actually I achieved desired behviour by implementing custom component based on page tree. It looks just like page tree but has root "For all sites", contains blocks and media and icons are displayed there.

Component declaration:

using EPiServer.Core;
using EPiServer.Shell.ViewComposition;

namespace Project.Web.Widgets
{
    [Component]
    public class AssetsContentTreeComponent : ComponentDefinitionBase
    {
        public BlocksContentTreeComponent() : base("epi-cms/component/MainNavigationComponent")
        {
            LanguagePath = "/episerver/cms/components/pagetree";
            Categories = new[] { "content" };
            Settings.Add(new Setting("repositoryKey", AssetsTreeRepositoryDescriptor.RepositoryKey));
        }

        public override string Title => "Assets tree";

        public override string Description => "Managing assets content in a tree view.";
    }
}

And descriptor for it:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using EPiServer.Core;
using EPiServer.ServiceLocation;
using EPiServer.Shell;

namespace Project.Web.Widgets
{
    [ServiceConfiguration(typeof(IContentRepositoryDescriptor))]
    public class AssetsTreeRepositoryDescriptor : ContentRepositoryDescriptorBase
    {
        public static string RepositoryKey => "AssetsTreeRepositoryDescriptorKey";

        public override string Key => RepositoryKey;

        public override string Name => "Assets tree";

        public override IEnumerable<Type> ContainedTypes => new[]
        {
            typeof(ContentData),
        };

        public override IEnumerable<ContentReference> Roots => new[]
        {
            ContentReference.GlobalBlockFolder,
        };

        public override IEnumerable<string> PreventDeletionFor => new[]
        {
            ContentReference.GlobalBlockFolder.ToString(),
            ContentReference.WasteBasket.ToString()
        };

        public override IEnumerable<string> PreventCopyingFor => new[]
        {
            ContentReference.GlobalBlockFolder.ToString(),
            ContentReference.WasteBasket.ToString()
        };
    }
}

Great!

But I still keep it here since it should be a built in feature
