I think Krzystof Chaya did something like this in his wonderful "xeq" object (first Pd convention, Graz.)
I don't remember Czaja's talk in particular, but the idea must have been in the air back then. Flext 0.4 (nov 2002) introduced Jitter-style attributes in Pd, and I added my own kind of attributes in GridFlow in 2005 by introducing parsing of the comma in objectboxes so that attributes setters always counted as ordinary messages.
iirc, the xeq approach was more like having multiple objects connected via a "filehandle" like thing; so you could have an object that just opens the file, and another objects that would seek within that file.
