Global variable into image url?

I tried to put variable pictures in the background of tiles, depending of some rules
example:

I have a pic named geomode0.gif
I have a pic named geomode1.gif
I have a pic named geomode2.gif
all placed on my file server

when my geothermal unit is in stand-by, I want to display geomode0.gif
when my geothermal unit is heating, I want to display geomode1.gif
when my geothermal unit is cooling, I want to display geomode2.gif

I tried to place a tile with a (dynamic) background url, based on:

http://192.168.1.115:280/Music/Hubitat/pics/geomode%therm.mode%.gif where the global variable %therm.mode% is managed by rules. But no pic displayed.

Is it possible to integrate a dynamic image (with embedded global variable on it) in a future release ?

This would be great. I also would love to see dynamic background images!

Yep, and I use personally animated gif (yeah...) to show animated status of my unit, like:

when heating, cooling or stopped:
geo-HEATING geo-COOLING stop-100

and to display the status of my fan:
fan-STOPPED geo-BLOWING

A little bit too fancy maybe, but I like to have a visual info...
