Make icon metadata available via a package

[micahgodbolt]

I'm looking to use the icons meta data while rendering our docs, specifically to allow users to search by metaphor to find the icon. It doesn't make sense for each package to separately publish this, so is this something that could be created as its own package?

Hey @micahgodbolt can you expand on this? Would a separate package with all the metadata compressed into a single file fit your need? Or separate json files fine?

[micahgodbolt]

yeah, a single file would be fine. I'd love to be able to take an icon like AccessibilityErrorFilled, and look up all of the related terms. This would greatly improve search, as we can only currently search by exact name.

This seems like a wasted opportunity
