Share currently doesn't support this behaviour (which is why nobody has replied I guess…)
Coincidentally, we're looking at behaviour similar to this for the DOD5015 Records Management add-in we're currently developing. Essentially you need to create a repository node that inherits from cm
bject instead of cm:content (because the content is elsewhere). You'd add properties to allow your external content to be addressed - a URL would be a good start! You'd then have to update the document library repository webscripts so they return these nodes (they'd get filtered out at the moment). You'd also need to enhance the DataTable renderers so that these new types of nodes get rendered correctly in Share. Depending on what format these documents are and whether a web browser can display them natively would decide how you'd link to them on the client. You could update the Web Previewer to accept an external URL if they happen to have a .swf preview.
There's likely to be way more than just the above (and all that was off-the-top-of-my-head stuff). Good luck!
