Interesting hint, thanks.

Not sure though if using an emblem icon is not rather abusing such icon types,
as they seem to be intended to be used as overlays, not as stand-alone icons.
Something which also is reflected in style and shape, which IMHO can be also
seen in the Adwaita example, the icon sticks out at least if used for the
action button (the example also hints that a tick-off symbol is not the best,
unless reusing people's Win/Mac UI memory, given with the check-boxes we have
the symbol now 2x in the UI for different meanings, not perfect :) ).

Then the current definition in the spec says for "Emblems Icons":
"
for tags and properties of files, that are displayed in the file manager. This
context contains emblems for such things as “read-only” or “photos”.
"
(see
https://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html#context
)

While "files" and "file manager" surely could be extended into "objects" and
"object managers", so using as overlay on list items might still be covered by
this, when it comes to menu actions this runs chance for visual issues. So
having a separately designed action icon still would be good to have.
