I am interested in determining the feasibility of utilizing the Tulip API for image transmission and retrieval. It is my understanding that Tulip Tables store images as Image URLs, which serve as pointers to S3 objects in AWS. Consequently, I would like to inquire whether there exists a workaround that facilitates direct ingestion of images into Tulip Tables by an independent application. Furthermore, I am curious about the possibility of extracting images from Tulip Tables for viewing in a separate isolated application. Any assistance in addressing these queries would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
