Comment(by bert):

 For etoys projects that is almost true because a project is pretty much
 the state of the activity that is in the journal. It's not entirely true
 because you can download projects that were not done on an xo, and there
 would be no way of distinguishing.

 But what about other documents - like, I can export a single etoys object,
 which would get a different mime-type which is still recognized by Etoys.
 Would that get the etoys icon too? But there would be no way of knowing
 this is not an activity instance? And there would be no way of filtering
 for that particular type of data? And there is no way to filter for
 anything except text, image, audio, video, and link (huh?) - not even a
 generic "data" type that would be all data objects except the known ones.
