note metadata for files

Maybe not a zsh specific question, but...

Does anyone have a system for attaching notes to a file?

The issue is I track down why a change was made to a file
(annotate/blame/whatever) and then I remember that I've tracked down
that change before. It would be useful if I could attach a note to
files outside of any repo (or the repo they belong to anyway) that
pops something up (maybe desktop-notify) when I look at the file (not
stat, but manually grep/cat/less/diff/whatever from a cli).

This could almost be a shell script, but I'm not sure how to make an
event that would trigger the script with a filename parameter - is
there a way to do this?
