Thats a tall order. It almost sounds as if you want to be able to not use
the index to store fields, but have them still fully functional as if
indexed. That would be quite the magic trick.
Look here, people wanted exactly the same feature in 2004. Is it still not
implemented?

Right - I was exaggerating your description a bit. It reads as if you
want it to have all the same power as an indexed field. So I made a bad
joke. If you want to be able to search the field, its index entry needs
to be updated anyway. I don't see how you get search on external stored
fields without having to update and keep them in the index - external
field storage is simple to add on your own, either using that skwish
library, or even a basic database. You can then do id to offset mapping
like that guy is looking for - simply add the id to Lucene and do your
content updates with the external db.
