Agreed.

It is not possible today: Converting ICAP headers into annotations
understood by Squid ACLs is only supported for eCAP services.

IIRC, somebody posted a patch (on squid-dev) with a similar feature for
ICAP, but that implementation needed to be redone to be officially
accepted (IMO). I do not know whether the author will adjust their code
to follow my recommendations. Perhaps you can do it for them.
