The reason why I mentioned opening the resource file using Resource Manager APIs is that there is nothing in the File Manager APIs to prevent you from creating a resource fork for a file and filling it with whatever data you want.

Well, except Apple's official recommendations and the fact that if you store just the right kind of data you can horribly crash the Finder when it tries to e.g. look for a 'usro' resource in that file... Resource forks containing anything else but a resource file are technically possible, but invalid.
