In a similar manner that Apple will do it for iOS. According to iOS HIG, Apple will take the app icon and make a composite document icon for you. In the case of the iPad, the automatic document icon will have the folded corner sheet look.

I could swear there was similar functionality for the Mac, but, perhaps, what I am remembering is this iOS functionality.
