But you're talking about using a nonstandard approach anyway (unless you use git-notes). So you'd end up rolling your own code with git's plumbing anyway, which you can do just as easily with a text file full of object ids.
Once you have an object id, there are plenty of existing git commands to do whatever you want.
Have fun,
