sounds like what you really want is a shortcuts-view plasmoid that lets you 
drag a bunch of random files into it and displays icons for them as if they 
were in a folder. now go write one!

either that, or you want nepomuk.

you talk about reliance on the filesystem, but then you propose a solution 
that is itself reliant on the filesystem... think outside the box! ;)
