Immediate idea is to use selectFields to select all fields and your preffered value " AS " that field. No ost efficient way but better than nothing.

But I think you do not need to select it. Look how this particular CType is rendered (use TS object browser). There will be a "field" TS property that defines where to put image. Replace "field" with "value" and put your preffered value.
