Add to ExternalData_URL_TEMPLATES the entry

 file:////share.host/foo/bar/%(algo)/%(hash)

Since it is accessible through filesystem APIs you could also
set ExternalData_OBJECT_STORES to

 c:/some/local/store;//share.host/foo/bar

That tells ExternalData to use objects found in the local store
or the network path directly without downloading.  If an object
is not found in either path, then the url templates will be
searched for the object and it will be downloaded to the local
store (first entry in ExternalData_OBJECT_STORES).
