Using images from local folder in Shiny app?

I would like to use images stored in a local project folder in for a Shiny app. Outside of DSS, I can store images in a 'www' folder and call upon them within the app, as outlined in this stackoverflow link: Embedding Image in Shiny App

Let's say I have images stored in a local folder called "images". Is there a way I can deploy an app that accesses the images in the local folder and displays them? If not, what would be the recommended workaround?

    Thanks so much for the reply @AlexT
    ! We are currently not set up to use the static web resource, and hosting the images outside of the project might not be allowed, but I will explore other options.

    , is it possible to write directly to a static web resource folder within an R notebook? I would like to save a ggplot output as a .png file, but I only know how to save it to a local folder using dkuManagedFolderUploadPath
