This might be a need that arises in other cases, so it would be helpful for the community to have the best-practice way of addressing the requirement spelled out. This is particularly the case if the right solution is .well-known, as .well-known is currently described as being for "site-wide metadata", not metadata for individual files. Plus it's always useful to test best practice guidance against real use cases.

I would like to add that RFC 6415 provide a mechanism for
resource-specific metata, although IMHO this is clunky. This would use
templates defined in a host-meta file which would be placed in the
",well-known" directory.
