You do not really need Org mode to do this. Instead, it may be
sufficient to define a file handler in order to make things work
"magically". Check out 26.12 Making Certain File Names "Magic" section
of Elisp manual.

No. We can preserve backwards-compatibility by checking :follow function
arity and only passing the extra argument with the :follow function
supports that many arguments.
