XF 1.5 3rd party template referenced images run through proxy.php ?

For both XF 1.5 and XF 2.1, I've modified the youtube bbcode media template to serve the default youtube image thumbnail rather than load all the script/video assets on initial page load for better page speed. Example at https://community.centminmod.com/threads/chrome-web-dev-live-2020-on-youtube.19965/

So for youtube video

But it seems the image url referenced in the bbcode template is just served directly from https://img.youtube.com/*. Is it possible to tell 3rd party images referenced directly in template code to go through proxy.php itself ?

so if bbcode template references
HTML:
<img loading="lazy" src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/AQqFZ5t8uNc/mqdefault.jpg">
to have it go through and be served via proxy.php

can this be done for XF 1.5 and 2.1 ?
