Is it possible to use files from the "playbook" layer for the "copy" module?

Hi!
What I mean by the title: In roles we can have a “files” directory, with files that could be copied to server. I would like to have those files outside of the role, they should be provided by my playbook and not the role. What is a recommended way of achieving it?

Best wishes.

Just put them in files/ directory at play level, that is in the search path for copy, it will try the role’s files/ first so that must not contain the file in that case.
