Running Xubuntu 18.04.

Is there a way to change the file icon of a specific file, not all files of that type?
For example, I have a file with no extension - it makes it look like a .txt file. How can I change that to - let's say - a python script? Is it possible? It is possible on Windows, so why not Ubuntu?

According to this thread ( https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2365446 ) you can't change the file icon for a single file directly if using XFCE. You could create a .desktop file and use the exec command to launch the script. Example of .Desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=AppName
Comment=Some Comment
Exec=python somescript.py
Icon=false_icon
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Script
