How to get the path of an image?

Discuss
#1

Is it possible to use the Image Picker to just get the path of an image, without it getting saved in a new folder?

I mean:
I am using an Image Picker to pick a picture on my “Download” folder and then display the path on a label I’ve added to the app. The path, instead of being “/storage/emulated/0/Download/myPhoto.jpeg” it is being duplicated and saved in the following path "/storage/emulated/0/Pictures/_app_inventor_image_picker/picked_image(some numbers here).jpg

Can I somehow just get the original picture’s path?
