Not sure if it is recommended, but you can create a hidden project and link the external file/folder there. Once you have it, you have full IResource functionality. A different approach would be to attach markers to existing resources/projects which require those external files (or even workspace root), and try to teach Problems view to use URI and not IResource to resolve the thing to open on double click. Later requires patch for Problems view.
