I was about to suggest a Reiser4 plugin, but I'm not sure if plugins are allowed to do anything more than providing attributes (or "files within a file").

If plugins are limited in this way, it though should be possible to save a "history" of the file (recent names and paths, date and time of the rename/move action). But this information would be useless for klink, as attributes can only be read if the correct path and name are known, so klink would have to search the whole harddisk and scan the "history" attributes of all files...

And not everybody uses Reiser...

Oh, and even if Reiser4 plugins are not limited, I wonder how a notification system of a file system could look like... I feel a bit uncomfortable having a file system that depends on dcop (no offense, dcop is great, but on file system level?)
