Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.**
I just tried DuckDB for the first time and I liked this syntax:
```
CREATE VIEW nation AS SELECT * FROM read_parquet('/mnt/bigdata/tpch/sf10-parquet-float//nation/*.parquet')
```
This is much easier than `CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE`.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating DataFusion's SQL UDF or table-function registration and its Parquet reader, then compare the requested read_parquet behavior with the CREATE VIEW example in the issue. Done means that example can create a view over the matching Parquet files.
