Closest thing to DESCRIPT.ION files in Linux

[epement]

Serious question: Are there any promising implementations of TCC-like file descriptions in the Linux environment? Is there a suite of tools available under Linux to add, edit, delete single-line file descriptions of a file, and that will somehow persist when the file is copied, renamed, or moved to a different directory? Is there anything that comes reasonably close? Thanks for any suggestions.

I'm pretty sure streams exist in all os filesystems

I don't think so. They are a feature of NTFS and I doubt you'll find them in Linux.

Double Commander understands and mostly doesn't orphan/drop descriptions during file operations so long as you turn on "Options > File operations > Process comments with files/folders"

File Streams
Natively no. Driver accessibility it may be possible. UNTESTED but its an option for the OP

On Linux, you have an option to use file attributes (which is not your familiar ARHS from FAT filesystem).
But "Descript.ion"/"Files.bbs" is a description format supported by many file managers.
