How to load Images locally

Hey.

So I made some images, uploaded them to Imgur and then placed them into my config.
My question is can we do it locally? Like upload to some directory and then paste the image path the same way like with URLs?

It's not the end of the world, but the thing is I don't like the big black blob each time the image tries to load. And also sometimes Imgur limits request so it takes like at least 3-5 seconds or wont even show the image at all and then I get messages from my players that they can't see anything.

I tried something like this with no success: file:///c:\\img\\test.png . Am I just doing it wrong or it is not supported like at all?

This is what I am talking about. I'm sure if it's done locally it will be instant or at least will fix the situation when the user can't load an image.

I personally do not know if this can be done locally or not. I would assume it would have to be in this format if someone where to try along the lines like this file:/ /fullimagepath/image.png (minus the space between the / / as Umod tries to make it into a URL)
