Let’s say I had a project that required me to have some files as well as a Live CD for Linux. Could I add the files to my bootable image and access them in the live session?

Yes, but the fact that you’re asking probably means you wouldn’t want to go that route because it’s complicated.
Since the images are built to be a static size and dimension, you’d need to: take an existing image you like, decompile the boot settings into their different parts, edit them, add your files to the base storage, compile a boot image based on the resulting set of files, create united again, recombile the base image, and package that up and HOPE it works the first time, or else youretin a debug loop.
OR
Just boot a LiveCD and have another storage device mounted along with it. That can either be a separate named partition on the bootable media, or a separate one that gets mounted at boot at an expected location.
The latter option is much, much easier.
