Description
There should exist a way to associate keys with secrets to make encryption/decryption easier. This was tried previously with paths, however nix mangles the paths by putting them in the nix store. This means that we can't necessarily point to a given file in order to know which file to decrypt/encrypt when it comes to secrix commands.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the previous path-based approach described in the issue and determine how key-secret associations should work without relying on Nix store paths; done means secrix commands can identify the secret to encrypt or decrypt from its associated key.
