Not out of the box, though I assume that this might be rather easy to 
implement. Even I as a non-programmer see that that metadata must be 
stored somewhere, and it's most probably in some extended attribute or 
the famous resource forks. Accessing that data should be possible for 
the FD, and passing it an option from the fileset is definitely already 
implemented :-)

Interesting concept of data management. But, concerning people, I'm 
ready to believe quite a lot.
