I don't quite understand what you mean by linked meshes or linkable
datatypes.  Is the goal here to simply add an attribute string
to a Mesh?

The comment about moving projects in a renderfarm makes it sound
like the attribute ( or filename ) needs to be persistant.
For this to happen, the attribute needs to be part of the Blender
data to be saved in the .blend file.
