Erm... looks like a big memory hoog. I would not recommend this.
If its really (really!) nessecary, one could use one of the
various extfile products on zope.org.

However, importing them to the Zodb seems to be the prefered solution
as you can do a lot more with it (like set titles (used for alt-attribute))
ask for width and height and even for existence.
