I have absolutely no problem for you using the registry in this way.

You might also be interested in the ReferenceFileSystem ("reference://") which provides a similar redirection: every path maps to some other file, part of a file or concrete data. We also have the prefixFS ("dir://") which allows you to add a prefix to every URL for arbitrary backend. You sound like you want something just inbetween these two choices.
