It's a bit round-about but you might be able to use ExternalFileField
http://lucene.apache.org/solr/api/org/apache/solr/schema/ExternalFileField.html
The fieldType definition would look like
<fieldType name="file" keyField="id" defVal="1" stored="false"
indexed="false" class="solr.ExternalFileField" valType="float"/>
Then you can use frange to include/exclude certain values:
