How to init a new dummy Image object

Hi,

how can I create a new UI Image object without initiating it as normal gameobject? Because whole UI is dynamically generated and I don't have real reference on Image until I will make a few clicks to generate content. Which is not desired because on start I do deserialization of stored data and then I'm using non Monobehaviour object to store. Info about image and then I use it at generation of the UI content.

Any ideas?
