Referencing Json files in Storyline 360

Storyline gives advice on how to add external Javascript to a course:
https://access.articulate.com/support/article/Articulate-Storyline-360-JavaScript-Best-Practices-and-Examples

By adding the following to the story.html file:

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2" SRC="/story_content/MyJavaScriptFunctions.js" TYPE="text/javascript"></script>

And then inserting the .js file into the story_content folder.

Is there a way to insert a .json file into story_content and have javascript reference it?
