The GSplus emulator does this already. Microsoft specified two NTFS ADS 
types for FinderInfo and resource fork storage with Services for 
Macintosh in Windows NT. Apple still uses this support with their native 
SMB client. The SMB client for the IIgs uses these too.

On macOS, the 32byte FinderInfo is abstracted as an extended attribute 
called "com.apple.FinderInfo", while the resource fork is abstracted as 
"com.apple.ResourceFork". Alternatively, you can access the resource 
fork using standard streams by appending "/..namedfork/rsrc" to the path 
of your file.

Apple specified a standard way of storing ProDOS filetype/auxtype as 
Macintosh filetype/creator in "Inside AppleTalk".
