The answer is it depends. An object can contain the associated object in
several ways. In some cases, the icon data is stored within the object.
In other cases, it's not. The object contains flags the identify how to
find the icon and where it's located.

I'm pretty sure that for your case, where you drag an icon to the
properties notebook, the icon data will be stored inside the object for
abstract objects and in the .icon EA for file objects.
