Question

At runtime how do we access artifacts stored in S3 block storage Prefect v2 Are all artifacts copied to some location when the flow run begins

For example say we have a command line tool named `fazer` which expects an xml file as an argument Normally we would run ` usr sbin fazer some file xml` In prefect v2 can we package up the xml file and have it available in a particular directory at runtime

We use S3 block storage to upload artifacts But it s not clear from the documentation how to retrieve non python artifacts from that storage to use them at runtime

it uploads the entire workflow folder and obviously downloads when run allowing for relative imports and static configuration files
