I was thinking about the same last night :) There are two-three bugs in
bugzilla 
related to spatial behaviuor of document. 

First of all, I think that such thing should definitely be in GNOME api
somewhere. Gedit currently has metadata code, so as nautilus. There
should be some framework about metadata in gnome, not just in evince.
The only question is what should be done to get such support. In
general, such framework would be very easy to write, but it is very
useful.

About API, we need to implement VFS support for various backends. So
there should be some document handler that xfers data from remote system
to tmp after creation. It can also support metadata getting.
