Can you explain shortly what is the fundamental difference between the 
two approaches? You told me that it's about using links to files 
instead of storing them. I plan to have a distinction between 
"internal" files, stored in the filesystem, and "external" files which 
the filesystem has somewhat seen and indexed, but whose data is not 
available, e.g. files on cdrom or an http proxy cache - the filesystem 
should keep an URI as a reference. If the URI has "file:" as protocol 
the filesystem could show, in directories that represent queries, links 
to these files. Maybe your ideas can fit better into this model.
