No. Because keys are made from hashes, you can't create hashes that would
force some kind of data to be routed to your node instead of another one.
Because there is no relation between the hashed key and the actual name or
contents of a file. So there's no way you could attract all "philosophy" or
all "porn" or all "mp3" to your node, because "mp3" or "philosophy" or "porn"
don't have anyhing in their hashed key that relates to their content.

Same as above...
