In this configuration:

       location /uri1/ {
            fastcgi_pass   wordpress;
       }

       location /uri2/ {
            internal;
            root /path/to/files;
       }

a public URL is /uri1/some_file, WordPress should return
"X-Accel-Redirect: /uri2/some_file",
then nginx will send "/path/to/files/uri2/some_file".
