How to place currentUser.photoUrl on rectangle fill?

Plugin and Widget API Questions

figma.currentUser returns the following object -

    {
      "id": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX8765",
      "photoUrl": "https://s3-alpha.figma.com/profile/c7cea5ee-1847-4057-b089-39b825fe81e6",
      "name": "John Doe",
      "color": "#667799",
      "sessionId": 23
    }

The photoURL has strict-origin-when-cross-origin, which results in tainted canvas while converting it to blob, and hence cannot be exported or used within figma fills as a paint.

Is there any possible workaround, apart from setting up a custom proxy cors server.

I don’t think so… :grimacing: Would be happy to be wrong though.
