There is no question whether it can be done or not. We used to have
that feature and might have it also in the future. It just needs some
developer to pick up the task and code it up (any volunteers?).
However, internally KPA will still use own "database" as reading tags
from one file is many times faster than scraping the tags from tens of
thousands of files and many of our users prefer not touching the
original images at all.
