Closest I have is
http://mika.l3ib.org/code/zsh-functions/note
http://cgit.mika.l3ib.org/cgit/zsh-cvs/commit/?h=mika&id=45550f3971d50f8aa0ba63b1a55ce6dd28662200

zstyle ':completion:dirprop:*' file-list dirprop=user.notes
zstyle ':completion:dirprop:*' dirinfo-format '%f '${(%):-%F{11}}%i${(%):-%f}
zle -C dirprop complete-word _generic
bindkey "^_^V"    dirprop

(or just set the style for your default context to always disable the
notes on tab completion, but it overrides filetype coloring which is
why i don't).

Also note that most programs will silently delete all xattrs when you
edit/copy/etc a file.
