@chriddyp I wonder what is the best solution to load many images in a dash app. They should appear on hover or by selecting rows in a table. The dash app is hosted on a server with huge memory and many cores and gpu. The base64 encoding method for each image seems slow. Is there a better solution? Store data in dcc.Store makes the app slow. Is there something I oversee here?

Best regards!
