Sounds like you are asking for a Filesystem in USErspace aka FUSE.

Yes, that much I realized shortly after asking.


Next step is to visit the FUSE project page on SourceForge
(http://fuse.sourceforge.net/), and look at the list of available
filesystems based on FUSE.
For archives, you'll need
http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/ArchiveFileSystems

Thanks. That's more like what I expected, namely that this was an
obvious thing to create. Now I just have to figure out which of the
several implementations is best for me.


I think you'll find what you need over there.

Looks that way.
