No, Perspective has no direct access to the local client's filesystem. Because web browsers and technology built on them do not permit it (because malware would have a field day with it).
If you have the images sent to your gateway server, then you could use the WebDev module to create a URL pattern that would retrieve them for Perspective clients.
If you had a script running on the gateway that loaded the images into a Database as blobs, you could use my (free) Blob server module to deliver the images to Perspective clients.
{ This post pre-dates Perspective and uses Vision Client scripting throughout. Inapplicable to Perspective. }
