Is it possible to load an image into flash via (JIC) and still be able to use Signal Tap?

Hi I'm trying to load up the flash connected to my FPGA with an image via Quartus possibly using a (JIC), and use Signal Tap to check some signal behaviour. I setup signal tap and compile the design...

    If .jic image has been compiled with Signaltap, the tool will recognize the image. To be sure, you can ignore the message and start acquisition. You either succeed or get an "incompatible image" message. In the latter case, you didn't manage to put the right image into .jic.

    Would an actual Signal Tap core be better suited for this or is using just the .stp file the preferred method.
