Currently, any channel can be specified by the path to the actual data, but the hdf5 tilesource also allows the channel to be specified with a path to a json file with the path to the actual data.
If we accept a json channel for any tilesource, then we will be able to store specific information about each channel in the json file. This would be one solution for specifying whether a particular channel is a mask.
