I am right that such a pointer to external data would have to be a literal?

The way I read the XMP standard is that only literals, blank nodes, rdf:Bag
and rdf:Seq are allowed as object of a triple. This would rule out standard
options like:

  <this_document> rdfs:seealso <rdf_document_about_pdf_document>
  <this_document> owl:sameAs <pdf_document_uri>

Which would enable agents to find and regognize RDF data about the document.
