I'm looking for a way to add a macro as an icon in the toolbar.

It seems possible to bind keys to the macro, customize the toolbar with Customize Toolbar and use toolbarIcons.xml to customize it. But none of those options provide an option to add a recorded macro as an icon to the toolbar in Notepad++.

Any suggestions?
