Could "Misc Attr. 12" in the enemy editor be made to work so that you input the weapons/misc sprite number, and that sprite will be used instead of the default sprite for that specific enemy's weapon?

Not perfectly. There's no foolproof way to tell which enemy fired a given weapon. If there are some restrictions - for instance, if no other enemy with the same type of weapon will ever appear on the same screen - it shouldn't be hard. Otherwise, it'll take some work and probably be a bit glitchy.

I see. I don't know if there's a way to create and assign new weapons or not, since there's no "custom" or "other" options in the enemy weapon dropdown menu.

This script called "Snowflake" is a FFC simply place one FFC with this script on the screen who's enemy's you want to replace the sprite with a different tile.

 

D0 is the weapon to replace (see the other topic I made about E & L Weapon values)

D1 is the replacement sprite (in this example a snowflake but it could be anything)

D2 is the speed

D3 & D4 change its trajectory so that it could actually travel in like a sine wave

 

It takes some experimenting and it's not perfect but it works.  I'm using this script in my quest to give Gibdos a "bone" type weapon that it throws at Link.  (The weapon is set to fireball but then I have this script with D0 being the fireball weapon, D1 being the sprite of the bone.  The only downside is you can't replace a weapon for some enemies while keeping the same weapon for others on the same screen but it works.

const int EW_MISC_REPLACED = 0; //Don't change unless another script is using eweapon->Misc

const int EW_SNOWFLAKE = 31; // ID of the snowflake weapon - should be unique
const int EW_MISC_SINE = 0;  // EWeapon->Misc[] slot to store sine info
const int EW_MISC_X = 1;
const int EW_MISC_Y = 2;
const int EW_MISC_STEP = 3;
//D0: EWeapon ID to replace
//D1: Snowflake sprite
//D2: Step speed
//D3: How quickly to move back and forth (sine degrees per frame)
//D4: How far to move out from trajectory
ffc script snowflake

void run(int srcID, int sprite, int step, int rate, int magnitude)

   for(int i = 1; i <= Screen->NumEWeapons(); i++)

    eweapon e = Screen->LoadEWeapon(i);
    if(e->ID == srcID)

     eweapon flake = CreateEWeaponAt(EW_SNOWFLAKE, e->X, e->Y);
     flake->UseSprite(sprite);
     flake->Dir = e->Dir;
     flake->Angular = e->Angular;
     flake->Angle = e->Angle;
     flake->Damage = e->Damage;
     flake->Step = 0;
     //EW_MISC_X and EW_MISC_Y need to be set to weapon's position on creation.
     flake->Misc[EW_MISC_X] = flake->X;
     flake->Misc[EW_MISC_Y] = flake->Y;
     flake->Misc[EW_MISC_STEP] = step;
    
     e->DeadState = WDS_DEAD;

I wonder what number has to be entered in the mirror shield stats to reflect ALL enemy weapon projectiles including arrows.
