Description

For some file providers it's handy to get a url for a specfici file. For example for S3 you may want a pre-signed url you can give to another server or client to allow them to write.

Some backend like S3 and GCP have implemented a url method to allow you to do this. But it's not part of the official spec.

Research direction

Start by locating the official filesystem specification and comparing it with the existing url methods in the S3 and GCP backends. Determine how the method should be represented in the spec, then verify that the specification covers the existing backend behavior and that relevant checks pass.
