I don't (yet) have any experience with this myself, but from what I've
read what you describe sounds like "pluggable brains", which are
apparently a way to turn the results of a ZSQL query into an
object automatically.  I think it is documented in the ZSQL Users
Guide, but it's been a while since I was wandering around in
that part of the documentation.
