+**yes**: remote would need to *indicate to git-annex* that \"feature\". ATM git-annex already does that via `EXTENSIONS` to announce what it can do, and it seems that

+**yes** -- it is \"unusual\" as not every special remote would be \"URL-only\" remote. But there is AFAIK a growing number of custom remotes which are like that at least in `datalad` land: `datalad`, `datalad-archives`, [`datalad-uncurl`](https://docs.datalad.org/projects/next/en/latest/generated/datalad_next.annexremotes.uncurl.html) and likely others. Typically they are \"read-only\" remotes, and URL is used as the identifier for custom \"downloader\" support.
