Third Part Custom Tags: Placeholder text instead of icons

I know that if u make a custom tag in thirty part tags u can define the icon u will see in design view instead of tag. That's cool, but useless in some applications.
For example, i'm developing an extension for a template tag system for a blog platform. If i put, for example, this tag in code

<$MTEntryTitle$>

it would be really better to see, in design view, a placeholder text like "This is the entry title" instead of an icon

...is it possible?

tnx in advance for any help!

Yes. You'll need to define a "Translator".
