Helius' has proposed support for URLs in the RPC call.

A sample JSON payload would be:
https://helius-docs.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/offchain_send_config_sfdp_rejects.json

I see a few benefits and drawbacks of this approach:

For more web2 oriented apps this is a more familiar approach than using an account on chain
Does not require the maintenance of a program on chain (multisig etc.)

Drawbacks:

No discoverability (i.e. no getProgramAccounts(...))
Needs caching via HTTP client rather than the Solana client that anyway all the transaction senders integrate with
Potential for lists to be down / inaccessible (similar to an account missing on chain) or rate limited if there's a lot of requests at the same time
