Its not 100% perfect, but I use the name of the style to tell me more about what it is. 

1/4 SE 3D Water Rough AL = Quarter inch square end mill 3D waterline roughing aluminum

You can also embed comments (if your machine control will allow them) in the MOP header.  Of course the header and footer are intended for manual g-code prep and finish that CamBam may not easily do for you automatically, but anything that can be in a g-code file including comments can be in the header or footer. 

I know this is not what you are asking for, but it may get you by until what you are asking for is implemented. 
Getting started on CNC?  In or passing through my area?
If I have the time I'll be glad to show you a little in my shop.
