Yes, there is a back made for the Hasselblad. It is by special order.
There is a diagram and information about it's operation in 
Ernst Wildi's Hasselblad Manual. 
No one I know has ever seen one in person. A friend of mine
asked the company rep to look into it and never got a reply.
The film does run verticle through it so you would need a 90 degree
prism to make it convenient to use (unless you plan to only photograph
radio towers ;)    There is a button to push that operates a gear
train to  rewind the film into the cassette. 
That's all I know.
