It's not clear how this is any different from the original problem
statement.
The Core Data change management layer can be decoupled from the
persistence layer. You can read data in from an arbitrary file,
create managed objects, and save the objects out how you wish...
Another example would be: Reading the names of several files on
disk, Managing them somehow (the internal steps are irrelevant),
using Core Data to rename the source files.
From what I've gathered so far it's not really supported...but
there's plenty chance I am wrong.
It's not "supported", but it's not prevented either. You have to do
the work ("you'll also have to ensure you properly manage writing the
file on save").
