That's one of the planned idea we have: create a sort of "package" containing 
document + additional info, that you could ship to your friends that use 
okular, so they can open the "package" normally as it would be a document, 
but gaining all the additional info you added into it.

The list in File -> Open Recent?

I guess you want to read bugs 141743[1] and 130496[2].

The problem here is that the xml are created with both filename and file size.

Thanks for brining your interest in these more or less small problems!
