Prerelease Three Letter Code?

How do you link a prerelease card image? I looked it up, but I couldn't find anything about it.
If you don't know what I mean, I'm talking about after you type a card name you type [Whatever the Set Code Is] and a different picture shows up.
Any card that was not released in a specific set is generally added to the Promo set, code 000. The issue here is that the number of Promotional cards in Magic is absolutely enormous. In addition to this I've noticed that a few of the previously functional cards from the set (like the promo Brave the Elements ) have seemed to have developed problems.
TL;DR
Promo Set's code is 000. It is missing loads of cards and all the ones in it don't always work.

If you can work it such that promo is a flag, that would be ideal. I was using a new set so we had something in the meantime.
One problem, though, will be differentiating between different promos. Some cards have multiple promo printings.

@yeaGO & Epochalyptik: Maybe this would be to complicated, but you could put a number after the * P *.
If you don't know what I mean, this might be an example:
Demonic Tutor [M10] * P1 * or
Demonic Tutor [M10] * P2 *
That's probably to hard to program though.

I've actually been wanting something like that done to numerous arts for one card in older sets. Basically have a number after the set code to dictate which version the card is. like ... [DRK1] and [DRK3]. It would mainly be used for lands though, which brings us to the task of adding EVERY single land in mtg.

TLA is 000.
