Its already there!  Just do a "Get Info" and edit the comment field...
And, just like a Real Post-it, the message falls off within a short
time when the glue dries (oops, I mean when you rebuild the desktop :-).

Actually, making the comment reliable, and adding the clickable indicator
would be a great enhancement.
