Yeah, but formats won't have, in general, a dedicated "user extra" sections
in their format.
Like, PNG only allows for a string title for example, GeoTIFF on the other
end allows for custom tags freely.
No idea if vector tiles allow for anything not foreseen, I'm afraid not.

Another option could be to add extra bits at the beginning or end of file,
which the tile reader would remove.
However, this approach breaks static tile generation (generate once, move
to a static file server).

Good idea. Not sure about Windows either.

Yes, should probably be used as a last resort only.
