Is it possible to send small image for display to the television without connecting a device?

I have a friend who wants to display an image on the screen during a party without leaving their laptop connected physically. Is it possible to send a file or attachment directly to the sky glass tv and select it from there to display the image?

No it's not possible as Glass TV's have no onboard storage.

There's probably a convoluted workaround involving uploading content to a personal YouTube channel and then displaying that through the YouTube app on Q/Glass/Stream

...and remember to have someone wriggle the remote every so often for the duration of the party so the Glass TV doesn't go into automatic standby...
