How to handle content assets?

I see there is Nuxt Studio which looks super cool. But I'd like to deploy my Nuxt Content V3 elsewhere. My 'content' folder itself is a repo of markdown files. I'd like to store and serve images with and from the content folder. To keep the content images with the markdown content files. I'd like to link those local images from Markdown. Imagine that I use Obsidian to author the content like so:

So far I have been using Nuxt Content Assets with Nuxt Content V2: https://github.com/davestewart/nuxt-content-assets

But the plugin does not seem to be maintained, nor does it work with Nuxt Content 3.

What options, beside Nuxt Content Studio, are available?

I am not considering public and assets folder from Nuxt, since I want to store those content assets with the content repo. The content repo should be independent of the Nuxt application. I have asked this on Discord before.

The issue names a separate content repo, Markdown files with local image links, and the Nuxt Content Assets plugin, but no source file or test. Start by tracing how Nuxt Content V3 handles Markdown asset paths and compare that with the plugin's approach. Done means establishing a supported option for serving content-local images independently of the Nuxt application.
