There is a feature called VFS (Virtual File System) support that the libretro core needs to support in order to be able to load games from a network drive or directly from a zip file.
Here is a list of libretro add-ons which shows the VFS support:

In your case there might be a workaround. Try to mount the remote filesystem to a local folder and then point the Kodi to that local folder. This way the network stuff will be handled transparently by the underlying OS and Kodi/Retroplayer will see it like a local folder.
Mounting the remote filesystem might be a little tricky, if you are not familiar with Linux, but there is a bunch of guides all over the Internet.
Basic guide:
1. Enable SSH service in the LibreELEC add-on.
2. Login to your LibreELEC box via SSH (see PuTTY).
3. Create the local directory (mkdir /storage/nas).
4. Mount the remote file system (mount -t nfs 1.1.1.1:/remote_folder /storage/nas).
5. Add the local folder as a new source in Kodi -> Games.
This is not meant to be a step-by-step guide, you will need to search a bit.
If you want to have the NFS share mounted automatically after reboot, use this guide:
