No url ... but as far as I understand it... the blob product by Chris
merely introduces an OFS.Image.File replacement that happens to store
it's content on the file system.  Whereas the zodb blob support actually
introduces new api functions so that binary content going through the
zodb actually ends up on the filesystem.
