Can we use query selector to open random HTML or photo files?

I realize it’s early in the course, but I noticed that Guil used queryselector to change the HTML to a gif. Can this also be used to open random HTML or pic files for a webpage or website? Thanks!

var name = prompt("What is your name?");
alert(`Hi, ${name}. Want to see something cool?`);
document.querySelector('html').innerHTML = `
  <h1>Welcome to ${name}'s site!</h1>
  <img src="https://media.giphy.com/media/JIX9t2j0ZTN9S/giphy.gif">
`;

One thing you can do is: on line 5, you can replace the url in the src attribute with a url to a different image.

Let me know if this helps!
