I can't find a single thing about this in the ffmpeg documentation.
How is this called, where can I read more about it and - most importantly -
does it work out of the box?

No, it does not.
This was a suggestion that sounds like a better option than a custom metadata descriptor file that is only used for one particular use case, at least to me.

Regardless, this would be a rather big security hole as a potential key
would be plainly visible in url logging.
Therefore "hiding" it in a file is probably a better and more secure
approach.

The same applies to your custom descriptor file, of course. Especially if it's stored on disk, as ramdisks/pipes/sockets aren't as ubiquitous as you might think.
