FLASK How to insert an image from anywhere?

Question

Python

Good afternoon!
I need to upload an image from any directory on my computer.
For example, the following method:

.format(url_for('static', filename='filename.jpg'))

It only works if there is a static folder next to the executable file , and there is already an image there at the specified path . If you do this: Then the server gives an error 500. Is there a method for loading an image from anywhere? Thanks in advance.
.format('path/to/filename.jpg')

You can solve this problem in different ways, for example:
Make a symbolic link to the folder.
Or you can do it through CUSTOM_STATIC_PATH, which you specify in the config and write
return send_from_directory(app.config['CUSTOM_STATIC_PATH'], filename=filename, mimetype='image/jpeg')
