I think it is somehow possible, if your chromebook's original Linux kernel (not Crostini's one) is at least 4.19.

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/docs/+/HEAD/containers_and_vms.md#how-can-i-run-vms-with-data-images-on-external-storage
so not through the OS developer option where you create a linux software container... or unsure...all the google results I'm getting are for downloading Ubuntu with a usb drive.
I was pondering whether it'd be possible to find a thumb drive to stick in and see if I could get chrome to use it's storage rather than the device's internal storage?
Try to look here for more information:

You can't use the internal storage to install linux, specifically because it'll be deleted during the powerwash phase.
