[Bug]: .webp cannot be used on macro buttons using lib URI format
Describe the Bug
Attempting to use .webp files on macro buttons via tags displays only a broken link when using the addon lib:// URI method. Note, .webp works using the assetID, and other file formats work with the addon lib:// URI.

To Reproduce
Make an addon, add a .webp image to it Try and set any macro label to show that image using the lib:// URI. See broken link.
Expected Behaviour
.webp images being displayed.

Could this be something in the parser and not "MapTool" code direct? Or if a more Sr. Dev wants to point me in a direction as I'm not seeing where in the "code" this sort of anomaly would come into play :(
Not a bug.
Read the specs
An asset:// points to a cached image, which has been loaded through MTs convoluted gut and is served as png not a webp
So... Can I just change this to a freq instead of closing it? I'd like to be able to use the same file for a token image and macro button image (which is where this issue originated) instead of needing a .webp and .png copy of every single asset. If running it through MapTool's convoluted gut is what it takes, that's fine by me

I wonder if this issue goes away if, as noted by @kwvanderlinde in #5041, MT begins to "use WebP as the serialized format for image assets"?
If I'm interpreting their comment correctly, I think it might be the opposite - converting to .webp as the default may (emphasis on may) cause cached assets to fail on macro buttons, since the issue is the HTML 3.2 standard and not the default MapTool file type. And cached assets currently evade that restriction by being converted into .png in the cache.
