I don't know about extending the search list, but you can use
NSBundle's -pathForImageResource: to implement
+ (NSImage *) imageNamed:(NSString *)name fromBundle:(NSBundle *)bundle
{
NSString *path = [bundle pathForImageResource:name];
return path != nil ? [[[NSImage alloc]
initWithContentsOfFile:path] autorelease] : nil;
}

NSImage's +imageNamed: is documented as searching the named images

Unfortunately, I've got code in a private framework that wants to
get the image stored that framework (which isn't thus searched).
Is there some way to add a framework to this search path? (Which
would be best, because it will allow any object, such as a button,
that has an image name to automatically work correctly) Or at least
a way to explicitly pass a bundle to search (via a hypothetical
+imageNamed:fromBundle:). The fall back, of course, is to get all
the possible file extensions from NSImage and manually try each and
every one of them, but I'd rather not have to duplicate this logic
(plus this fails to support the generic button using a named image
that resides in the private framework)...
I suppose I could also, at startup, go through all the images in the
framework, load them, and then do a "setName:" to get them in the
cache (but this seems like it could impact program launch times)
