There's https://github.com/MigNov/Fuse-db that uses mysql-connector (should
also work with mariadb's connector) to create a filesystem interface. There's
also a perl module, https://metacpan.org/pod/Fuse::DBI, that (like GnuCash)
uses libdbi so it's a bit more general; the problem is that it's only mountable
from inside perl so it won't work directly with GnuCash.
Alternatively the link field takes URIs as well as directory paths and IIRC it
can load http: or https: URIs. If you can run a local web server to serve the
URIs you can use PHP to query a supported database for the desired image.
