Research direction

Start by tracing the HTML-generation path and how its temporary output directory is created, then review any tests covering generated files or external assets. Done means external CSV, JSON, and GeoJSON files are available beside the generated HTML without being embedded, with coverage for the resulting file layout.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The idea would be to allow external CSV/JSON files to be copied to the temp directory in which the html file is generated so that the page can make use of it. This behavior is very beneficial especially when you are reading large geojson files and want to keep the file external to your html.
