But the resource fork idea has the same issue if someone uses/sends/writes
to the file from the other 90% of the computers on the planet... (windows).
Doesn't it?

I think you're best tracking the info in your own data source, doing your
best to track and keep up with the user changing it outside your world, and
leaving the original file alone.  But like all the other suggestions here,
that's just one opinion :)
