We have a demo (and a journal article) coming up at the conference FORCE2015 in 
January where we present a solution to this problem based on three different 
standards-based solutions using metadata  and a persistent time-stamped 
identifier (DOI) assigned to the file(set).  See http://doi.org/10042/a3v2b for 
demos. The dataDOI can  hence be cited in the manner conventional for 
referencing journal articles, and has the further advantage that the system 
allows searching in various ways, ie 
http://search.datacite.org/ui?q=InChIKey=LQPOSWKBQVCBKS-PGMHMLKASA-N or 
http://search.datacite.org/ui?q=alternateIdentifier:InChIKey\:*  or 
http://search.datacite.org/ui?q=has_media:true&fq=prefix:10.14469 (the prefix 
identifies the registered site)

Unfortunately the Figshare repository specifically does not currently  support 
the requisite standards. In our case they were all implemented in a  Dspace 
repository supporting the required standards.

In general, we think that the “hard coded” non-persistent URL based method of 
retrieving files from remote locations (such as used by Jmol with eg  PubChem, 
PDB etc) should be replaced in the future by  DOI based methods which also 
associate and export rich metadata with the object. 

If anyone wants more details, do please contact me.
