Interesting idea. Can you tell more details about your scenario?

Basically it should be no problem to give that option. There are couple of 
things that we need e.g.

- Where is the metadata located? What source you want to get the metadata from?
- What properties you want? I don't have anything programmed to look all 
Dublin Core properties but I looking them up from the schema and retrieving 
them should not be a problem. 

XPCOM basically offers an API for retrieving combinations of subject predicate 
object, where some of them are fixed from metadata stores.
