@annex2384 \"Backend which doesn't store files at all?\" -- are you sure you're thinking of backends and not of [[special_remotes]]? Backends don't \"store files\", special remotes do. Backends create keys identifying specific contents.

Not sure I fully understand your use case, but you could write an [[external special remote|special_remotes/external]] that, for a given git-annex key, stores \"the location of possible local copies of the file\" -- e.g. using `SETSTATE` or `SETURIPRESENT`.
