You cannot. There is a reason they live on the filesystem and not in
the ZODB and the web-interface - security. You can do all sorts of
nasty things with External methods, and you do not want anyone else to
be able to do that. For through-the-web-editing, use pythonscripts. If
what you need done needs so the privileges of Products or external
methods, it needs to be as secure as possible.
