That was a feature of the file system, not the desktop and are nothing
GNOME or KDE could implement on their own. POSIX extended attributes could
possibly be used for similiar purposes, but then you would have to go and
adapt every utility that somehow deals with files to also use them (which
had to be done for all tools ported to OS/2).
Like I wrote, most of the features you mentioned have nothing to do with the
WPS but rather of HPFS, the filesystem OS/2 uses.

However, one thing it had was 64KB of extended attributes, which could
contain an incredible amount of searchable info about an object.

There are many, many things that the WPS can do, far more than I can
mention in a brief message.
