A workaround is to get the fileId with Google Drive SDK API and then using this Url:

https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id={fileId}

That will be a permanent link to your file in Google Drive (image or anything else).

Note: this link seems to be subject to quotas. So not ideal for public/massive sharing.
