Chat Avatars?

In some IM protocols/networks, group chats can have a "chatpic" or
"convopic" essentially an avatar for the group chat as a whole.
Is there any technical limitation within pidgin or libpurple that would
hinder an enterprising young plug-in developer from being able to bring
such functionality to pidgin and other front ends to libpurple?
The protocol/network I have in mind is skype, however this functionality
is not limited to this. some obscure protocols of obsolete/ancient and
site-specific (facebook-style api-based) chat systems often have this
feature as well, though i have not seen that feature reflected within
pidgin.
Any enlightenment in this area would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
in advance!
