I'm guessing that xattrs (via sys_{get,set,list}xattr(), used by
user tools getfattr/setfattr/libattr) will get you much of what you
want.
In order to notify applications about "live queries" you may want to
look at the dnotify or inotify mechanisms, having an application
get a notification on a "virtual search" file, or similar.
Cheers, Andreas
