add arbitrary properties to layers?

Hello,

I was wondering if it would be possible for me to add arbitrary key-value properties to layers, either in a built-in way, or using a plugin. My use case is that I'm exporting scenes I put together in GIMP to OpenRaster format which I read and display into my game engine. The layer order and position metadata is a great starting point, but it would be even more useful if I could give other properties to my layers that the game would know how to interpret.

I saw a thread about rdf metadata ( https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list/2013-December/msg00225.html) but I don't think it's on a per-layer basis, and I'd prefer something more simple than rdf.
