How to display a file in Laravel not by direct link?

Question

Laravel

I have a public disk in the file system, where there is a symbolic link.
I need some files to be available only to some users.
It occurred to me to create a separate disk, where there will be no symbolic link, that is, there will be no access through a direct link. And make a route, passing through which, the user is given access to the file.
I created the disk, uploaded the file there, there is no direct access to the file.
Created a route that checks if the user can access the file.
I wanted to display the file using "Storage::disk()->get()", however, as stated in the documentation, it produces a bare line of content.
And the question itself: How can I display a file for downloading not via a direct link? Or how can I turn a bare line of content into a file in order to display it for download?
