This is not what I am looking for. My usertag generates a proper option 
list in a 'normal' IC page. However, it will not function as expected when 
I use that same usertag in an IC UI template (tab content --> new page, 
edit page).
I would like a customer to be able to select a picture from a select box 
when they create/modify a IC page using the IC user interface. That option 
list should be generated dynamically.

My problem is still that IC won't treat a generated option list the same as 
a hand typed one.
