Fastest way to append icon paths in a dock

So I accidentally moved the icons linked to my dock entries while reorganizing my folders. Is there a way to quickly append the paths to these icons or am I stuck with changing them one by one using right click -> dock entry properties?

You mean icons or item shortcuts?

If the former, there’s actually a very quick and easy way to customize all the icons in a dock: open the folder(s) containing your custom icons, then drag each PNG, ICO, TIF, or WEBP file and drop it onto the corresponding shortcut in the dock. The shortcut will flash when you hover over it, indicating that you’re about to change that item’s icon.

Yep, I meant the icons of the shortcuts! Thank you.

I think I know this trick years ago, but just forgot after settling into my setup for too long.
