This would be pointless if you could set an ability you didn't have access to because abilities you can't use have no states to call upon. That being said, if you want to use the art for an ability on another job for a macro, you're free to do that, simply select the icon in the macro panel, and then don't use the /macroicon command in your macro.
They replaced the icons art.
