So it looks like you want to be able to do something like defining a
LaTeX macro \includesong {songfile} whose effect is something like:

--- do something with header info ----
\lilypondfile{songfile}

for that you do need lily to write the header info to a file. Actually
older versions of lily did do this before the days when it produced eps
files for lilypond-book so I can't see why it couldn't be reintroduced
as an option. You would also need an extra file so that header info
could be matched up with snippets. You would probably need to run LaTeX
several times for it to work, but if you are gereating a TOC you need to
do that anyway.
