macOS Finder Sidebar Icons

[Sydde]

I am attempting to access the Finder's sidebar - specifically the items in "PLACES" ( plist key "useritems" ), but the data under the "Icon" key is a bit arcane. It looks like resource references (OSTypes followed by a big-endian 32 bit integers). Is this raw (hidden) data from an IconRef?
