System Composer Component Masks

In order to best use Architecture Model for documentation I need to customize the look of the components in System Composer.

I would like to add a mask to the components so I can show an image/icon like we do in Simulink.

Today there is only the content preview option and the stereotype option that can add a small (16px x 16px) icon on the corner.

None of these solutions is what I need.

Can we add a mask to a component or do you know of a preload function (as a callback) that can add an image to the block?

Also looking for an answer to this... seems like there is no way to put a custom picture (mask) on a component element on Systems Composer

System composer doesn't use masks the same way, but you can add an overlay image. I'm using 2023b and if you go to the Format toolbar while in your architecture, there is an "Add Image to Block" option.

Thanks for the update! You are correct, System Composer now supports component masks.

Does "Add Image to Block" works only for Component or Variant Component block? It is not working for Reference block.
