Add meta data to menu items

Question

I have a Drupal website where many custom modules are implemented. These modules create custom rendered pages which are linked to menu items. This way a menu item represents a custom rendered page. Some other menu items are linked to node instances.

My goal is to provide meta data to each of these menu items. The meta data I want to add to each menu item are 'page description', 'user notes' and eventually term references (taxonomy).

Is there a way to add meta data to each of my menu items?

One possible solution I can come up with is creating a content type that wraps custom rendered pages with a 'description', 'user notes' and 'tags' field. Then I would create a node for each of my custom rendered pages and link the nodes to the menu items. But I'm wondering if there aren't more elegant solutions..

Use Menu attributes module. The module currently allows you to set the following attributes for each menu item:

Id
Name
Target
Rel
Class
Style
Accesskey
