If the stationary introduces some data of its own, then you would need
some kind of extension to the Dock/NCU to export them. I don't think that
the current tools used to import/export/synchronize cannot make use of any
additional data that might be stored in a standard soup like Names. In
order to import/export, the tools that perform the process must have a
knowledge of the data. So, the Dock/NCU have the knowledge of the built-in
applications's soups and the fields that were in those soups when the
tools were created/built. Without modifying the tools to make them aware
of new information in some of the standard soups, there's nothing you can
do.
