Cannot find module '#/assets/<file-name-here>.svg'. #vue/cli Version: 4.2.3 and 4.3.1 - vue.js

Question

General jist:
import Image from '#/assets/default-profile-picture.svg'
//ERROR: Cannot find module '#/assets/default-profile-picture.svg'.Vetur(2307)
I have spent the better part of today trying to find a solution to this. I know there are a lot of other posts like this one, but they are all outdated (all over a year old).
I've just generated a clean Vue CLI app, and still have the same issue.
I'm using Vue CLI Version 4.2.3, and just attempted using Vue CLI Version 4.3.1, but ran into the same issue.
I have checked that the file is in assets.
I have checked that the filename is spelled correctly.
I have a feeling this is a webpack issue, as require() would not work when called using typescript.
I have tried creating vue.config.js and manually setting the path for assets.
Project setup configuration:
Features: Babel, TS, Router, ESLint
not class-style syntax
Babel used alongside Typescript
No history mode for router
eslint with error prevention only
Lint on save
Configs placed in package.json.
Error in Component.vue
<script lang="ts">
import Vue from 'vue'

if (this.employeeImage === '') {
console.log('employee image empty: ' + this.employeeImage)
return '#/assets/default-profile-picture.svg'
} else {
console.log('employee image set: ' + this.employeeImage)
return this.employeeImage
}
}
}
})
</script>

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Please keep this in mind, that this answer is not a solution but more like a work-around for this issue by the time this question has been asked/answered for vue-svg-loader(#vue/cli Version: 4.2.3 and 4.3.1).
You can use absolute path instead of using # to reference the file when you want to import .vue components. Here is an example:
Instead of this:

Typescript does not support svg files.
Create a svg.d.ts file in your project source folder with the following content:
declare module '*.svg';
and restart your editor
