Well the current best practices are shown for example in content 
management framework, where via filesystem directory views filesystem 
directories are accessible inside Zope.

And zenmaster Kapil Thangavelu has packaged Filesystem directory views

Other options would include using APE that can map ZODB to filesystem.
