The AEM Lucene indexes only cover nodes which are in the repository. Indexing of "things" which are not in the repository is not possible.

If you want to do that, I would recommend to use an external search engine; or store the asset metadata in the repository and include a reference to the externally stored asset.

regards,

Jörg
