First create a separate view with image component inside. Then in the tab container you have, define a tab with a viewPath to newly created view (and viewParams if needed).

Technically speaking you don't need a tab container for that.  
You can create a view template that accepts input params like `iconPath` and `viewPath` which you can use as a placeholder for your tabs. Place an embedded view as the main component that's being displayed and configure an _onClick()_ event handler for each _tab_ that updates the main embedded view's viewPath.
