Yes You Can!
Hello and welcome,
If you separate your files out you can...
Example:
Cat Scales.csv
Cat Scales.bmp
Cat Scales.wav or mp3
Weigh Station.csv
Weigh Station.bmp
Weigh Station.wav or mp3
Low Clearance.gpx
Low Clearance.bmp
Low Clearance.wav or mp3
This example allows for an icon and sound file depending on your unit.

I make Gas file POIs, Crackerbarrels, into TourGuides with .wav voice files.
I load files with POI Loader in manual mode to set individual alert distances.
How one person does it !

MrKenFL's directory structure is what your should follow.
Note the primary folder "Custom POIs". This is the folder to which POILoader is pointed.
Note there are two levels of subfolders. You are not allowed any more.
Also
Garmin also has a max of 32 POI files per sub-folder.
