When we think from the bibtex side, it would boil down to 
processing the "keyword=" key (which is already there in 
the bibtex specification). You could then order your 
"publications" with terms such as "keyword=image" 
"keyword=article" etc.

One syntax would be

\placepublications[filter=image,prefix={img.},option=continue,numberconversion=romannumbers]

Yes, we can discuss it (on or off list) when it will be 
implemented.
