The Notation3 alternate serialization of RDF [1] has something called
path syntax [2] which lets you do roughly what you're looking for,
e.g.:-

   :Joe!:name

This expression, however, just generates the following triple and
returns the subject:-

   [ is :name of :Joe ] .

So it's basically a query... but I've been thinking recently that N3
paths would make interesting identifiers. Of course, then you couldn't
use bNodes or QNames in the path...

Something to consider, anyway.
