You can create a linked file. Once you have a folder handle to a workspace location you can link it to any location on the local
file system using IFile.createLink.
See WizardNewFileCreationPage for an example.

Thank you all for taking time to suggest your ideas.

Actually, At one point I thought about creating links and maintaining them
myself. Obviously, I didn't look at the API hard enough to find createLink
feature of IFile.

Thank you all again
