If your goal is just to be able to show images outside public folder you have 2 options:

Add a unmanaged resource in your build.sbt

unmanagedResourceDirectories in Assets += baseDirectory.value / "data"

No need to change the routes files, as all the files inside data will be merged into the public directory during compilation.

You can define different routes for different groups of assets but if you do that in your html file you will need to pass 2 arguments to the Assets.at method one for the path in the routes and one for the file.

Reference

Create your own controller if the images are not part of the project

As in Asset mapping outside public folder on Play framework
