If there's only 3 sizes or so like this, then lets just put them all in
the JSON and pass them all to the dash, and then the dash can pick which
one to choose, based on what size it's rendering at. That would at least
have the advantage of the scope not needing to know anything about the
UI, and it's generic enough that other scope authors can do the same
thing. We'll just pass the small/medium/large URLs as separate things,
and the dash will pick on.
