Link a file to CEWP that lives in another site collection

Question

I'm creating a Page that contains a CEWP which will link to an HTML file.

The plan is to template that site/page and use it across multiple sites and collections.

I want to link the HTML from 1 location so if we need to make an update across all sites, it can be done from said 1 location.

However, there's a new site collection created after a certain threshold so the link can't be in that path. For example:

mysite.com/projects/1/pro-1
mysite.com/projects/1/pro-2
mysite.com/projects/2/pro-3
mysite.com/projects/2/pro-4
mysite.com/projects/n/pro-5
mysite.com/projects/n/pro-n

Given this structure, the HTML file that the CEWP link to cannot be on /projects/1-n

I want to create something like mysites.com/cdn/home/SiteAssets/custom.html and use that link across all those sites above to link to the CEWP and make changes in one place.

Any suggestions?

SharePoint has the ability to a create a ContentTypeHub

The name is totally wrong, as it can do much more than just manage ContentTypes centrally

Basically it is a Site Collection where all users have access to

and you can store any files you want in a Document Library on that ContentTypeHub

So you can use it as your Company CDN (Content Delivery Network)
