WebP image in Asset Catalog?

It appears I can't add a WebP image as an Image Set in an Asset Catalog. Is that correct?

As a workaround, I added the WebP image as a Data Set. I'm then loading it as a CGImage with the following code:

guard let asset = NSDataAsset(name: imageName),
      let imageSource = CGImageSourceCreateWithData(asset.data as CFData, nil),
      let image = CGImageSourceCreateImageAtIndex(imageSource, 0, nil)
else {
    return nil
}

// Use image

Is it fine to store and load WebP images in this way? If not, then what's best practice?
