The Dropbox API doesn't offer anything like that, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

The Dropbox API now offers the ability to add arbitrary key/value data to Dropbox files via "file properties":

If you're using an official SDK, there will also be corresponding methods for these endpoints.
