I'm not really sure how different would be handling the file linking in
an FDW. For example, if a transaction runs that deletes a file through
the FDW, and the transaction rolls back, how are you going to restore
the file to life?
(It sounds like you're trying to have a FDW that would present a
directory as a table, and each file in the dir as a row. Maybe it's not
a bad idea but it needs a lot more thought.)
