xattrs are like image exif tags, or mp3 id3 tags, so they move along
with the file. Sadly there doesn't seem to be a set of standard xattrs
one can use, the facility as such is just a name value storage in a
recourse fork of the file. Indexing needs to be done separately and
there are a bunch of daemons that do that.
Anyway, my idea was to implement an xattrs editor in Emacs, the other
issues are outside of the scope for Emacs. If you are interested in this
line of thought we could set up a shared code repository and take it
from there.
