How to draw an image without creating an image Game Object

Phaser 3
1

I’m coming from processing js (PJS).

in PJS we can do something like:
image(imgObj, x, y);

How can I accomplish similar in Phaser 3?

Why do I need to do this?
Well in my project I have stars I render using points. But it’s boring so I want to change every point to an image (there will be different types of star images).
If I loaded in every single star as a image Game Object. That would take an enormous amount of
memory. So I need to find a way to render all the stars that are only on screen.

I wish there was something like:

this.renderer.draw(imgKey, x, y)

or something.
Is there a way to accomplish this?
