There is a very old issue still active
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=220195
which mentions the badly documented location syntax
e.g. for icons of the style
platform:/plugin/<pluginid>/icons/myicon.ico
which usually "just works", provided that the corresponding
plugin contains the resource myicon.ico at this location.
Indeed this works for the examples I was interested in
even though I agree with the bug reporter that this should
work consistently.
But I also remember that there was I much more fundamental issue
that suggested to introduce *symbolic* URL's for some standard
Eclipse resources (e.g. the shared images), which looks even
more appealing to me, because that approach would have the
effect, that the Eclipse platform could refactor the concrete
location of these officially shared resources, albeit still
being able to guarantee a stable "link" to them.
Unfortunately I don't find this bug any more :-(. Can someone
give me a pointer to that?
Thanks,
Daniel Krügler

OK, I found the answer on my own:
