If track metadata is stored in an external file, it could be read and set by a script. For example:

local function on_preloaded()
    -- ... metadata reading logic, then
    for k, v in pairs(meta) do
        mp.set_property("metadata/by-key/" .. k, v)
    end
end

This can probably replace global_tags in EDL.

LGTM. Please add interface-changes and maybe a note in docs about this.
