Adding a stream to the manifest is easy even without direct access to
it. If a stream is inserted and the stream object has a MediaType or
other supported properties the Storage implementation will write them
for you.

Can you explain what kind of stream attributes you want to store in the
manifest? If some are missing now, maybe we can add them to the list of
supported properties of the Storage implementation.
