Like BeOS does? There's a set of attributes for each file which say (among other things) what you prefer to use to view the file, and edit it. You can, of course, store annotations and random other things in these attribute fields. But that requires a DB-like fs. BUT, the Mac also has a vaguely similar system except that it sucks impressively. Files default to opening with the app that created them (and you can't change the default easily). This leads to truly stupid things, like HTML files that open with MS word when you click them (or whine about not being able to find MS Word...)
