Is there a way to embed a variable containing an image in a RichTextLabel?

Hi, I know you can embed an image inside a RichTextLabel like this:

$RichTextLabel.bbcode_text += "[img]data/thumb.png[/img] "

but what if I don't have the image saved inside my project, I have an image I have created at run-time which is saved in a variable, and I want to embed this image in the RichTextLabel, is there a way to do this?

Not sure, since I haven't tested it, but placeholders might do: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.1/getting_started/scripting/gdscript/gdscript_format_string.html

I don't think this lets you embed an image in a string, just replace a placeholder with a string.
