Implementing this feature is not possible now or in the foreseeable future
If we could have the ability to set a datum to have an icon and an x and y that would be great instead of making it's parent class be an /atom/obj/mob/etc... So the datum doesn't have to inherit all the variables of those classes.

You can't add that to the screen though unless there is something I'm unaware of. You would have to use images and/or and obj/mob to place it onto the screen. You would have to make functions to update the x and y of the images rather than setting the variables them self unless they added a feature that did onChange functions for when variables were changed.
