Any way to set image path as absolute path inside DocumentRoot ?

[berlin2123]

I want to use images and videos. But don't want to put these files into source because they are too many and too big. Instead, I want to link them to a static path under outdir.

Have Tested it and it works, i.e. you need to set the path of the image or video to a relative path with respect to outdir build/html.

issue
But the problem is, if the source file relative location has changed, for example, originally located in source/1/2/text.rst, now become source/1/2/3/text.rst. You need to enter the file to modify the relative path( add ../ to the image path ). Otherwise, you can't load videos and pictures.

Therefore, if one can directly set the image or video path is relative to the output path build/html, i.e., the absolute path of the website DocumentRoot, one can solve the problem without having to pay attention to the change of the location of the source files.

can set?

not a issue,
just using /_static/mylinkvideos/test.mp4, works fine.
it is the same as ../../../_static/mylinkvideos/test.mp4

Not quite sure what was written wrong in the previous test when it didn't work, but now it's already possible to use absolute paths directly under DocumentRoot.
