Description

Investigate FreeBSD xattrs to store file association information.
Especially how Haiku uses them (hybrid with resources).

Use case:

* **(1)** I have 5 versions of LibreOffice. Which one to use to open LibreOffice documents?
* **(2)** Then, I have ONE document that needs LibreOffice 3. How do make sure THIS document gets always opened with THIS LibreOffice? __This__ could be addressed by using xattrs...
