In 7.9.1 I could access a PNG stored at

`/usr/share/kibana/src/core/server/core_app/assets/favicons/`

from

`http://localhost:5601/ui/favicons/`

but I sincerely think you should store your assets outside Kibana because that's basically **a hack** and for example, any update will break your links.

There may be better recommendations though, like creating your own plugin to store those assets.
