This feature has already been implemented, or is already achievable with existing methods.
It would be very useful if users were able to use a tool to set the origin of an icon's grid to a specific point on that icon so that multi-tile icons can be displaced. By default, the icon's origin is the bottom left corner pixel. I came across this issue when isometric was initially released.

This is what the pixel_x, pixel_y, and pixel_z values are all intended for.

Building this kind of thing into the icon itself would add another layer of complexity onto the system that isn't really worth it. Moreover, doing this like a "hotspot" wouldn't really make sense compared to the current method because the origin of the icon actually depends on client.dir. The atom pixel offsets make the correct adjustments whereas a built-in origin would not.
