You can use the Zope product "LocalFS" (maybe also "ExternalFile")
to wrap external files into Zope objects (without storing
then in the ZODB).

Newer versions of "LocalFS" allow you the catalog its contents
with ZCatalog.

However, before you commit to ZCatalog, make some performance
measures. ZCatalog tends to require large amounts of time
and memory to build its indexes.
