Is whatsapp able to open photos directly from google photos?

[AC Question]

Hello I just backed up my images to google photos in order to save space on my phone. Now I get an error from whatsapp when trying to view the images because they are no longer stored on my phone. With this issue, I was wondering, is it possible to have whatsapp search Google photos by default instead of the SD card
This way I can view the images again without taking up space in my phone.

Please let me know. Thank you in advance
