FWIW NTFS does also have actual Extended Attributes in addition to ADS. You can query and set them via NtQueryEaFile() and NtSetEaFile() respectively. Although NTFS Extended Attribute names are limited to 256 characters and values are limited to ~64KB.

The 256 char length can be side stepped with unicode APIs. Search for "FindFirstStreamW" in MSDN/Naming Files, Paths, and Namespaces
