You've listed issues for both assets and arbitrary local files in the PR description; why are we restricting to assets here? It's not clear to me that we should actually support assets on a per-plugin basis, in fact, since there are other cases where someone may want asset paths (e.g., FFI). It might make more sense to just support file paths, and then have a dedicated plugin (or maybe a function in

By only allowing loading of Flutter assets you force developers to add their HTML files as part of the iOS bundle ensuring that the file is always available and can be loaded. This might be a bit restrictive to other platforms however I think it will cover most use cases where people wish to load local files. At least that was my reasoning.

I will update the interface to accept an absolute file path instead.
