As mentioned already on nepomuk at kde.org, I think the activity relation
needs to go into the event itself, not the file. That way we have an
indirect relation between file and activity without forcing anything on
the user. We can later use that relation in whatever way we want while
keeping the file itself clean of any automatically added data.
