Linking Metaobject taxonomy categories to a liquid code

[Jessi44]

Can we link the automatic “Category Metafields” that shows up under a product listing to a liquid code? It shows up between the variant and metafield option when you add a product page:

here is is under the metafield product option and also the content > metaobject area:

I want to be able to use it in a liquid code so it will show an icon if its been selected. For example, if the product category metafield “dietary-preference” is “vegan” in its list then show the “vegan” SVG icon.

if {{ shop.metaobjects[‘shopify–dietary-preferences’][‘vegan’] }} is selected then show icon.

Is this possible?

I’m looking for this as well. Currently Dietary Preferences and Product Certifications & Standards have a note when you hover over the image area in the metaobject section that says, “No compatible thumbnail field on this entry.”

If I can easily link a thumbnail that would be a great solution.
