Can I configure the Live: Streams: feature to use an externally hosted go2rtc

I have go2rtc in its own container so I'm wondering if I can point to it somehow to get it to work properly. I tried pointing it to the stream name in frigate, but that didn't work.

relevant code:

cameras:
  Front_Path:
    enabled: true
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://192.168.2.11:8554/Front_Path
          roles:
            - record
        - path: rtsp://192.168.2.11:8554/Front_Path_sub
          roles:
            - detect
    webui_url: http://192.168.2.171
    ui:
      order: 17
    lpr:
      enabled: True
    objects:
      track:
        - person
    motion:
      threshold: 50
      contour_area: 20
      improve_contrast: true
    live:
      streams:
        Main stream: Front_Path
        Sub Stream: Front_Path_sub

Thanks for any guidance.
