Feature Request

As of now from what I see to add a custom pipeline, we need to either upload a python file or we need to paste the python file link of a github url. However this limits the freedom of developer.
One solution that came to my mind could be just change the base url.

For example:

By default OpenWeb UI might use some internal URL to let itself chat with the URL, but what if let the user to change the chat url and re-direct it to their URL (with same endpoints as the internal URL) then it could give user much more freedom of customizibility.

Because now internally the backend would call the custom API endpoints instead of running a file. For example, suppose someone has a some very big research around LLMs, but they want to interface it with OpenWebUI's interface.

Writing a Pipeline might become super big and messy. So What do you think about this solution? I mean this can be added with the upload / paste pipeline file?

Let me know if I am missing anything. Thanks
