You can store information associative with presentations, slides and shapes
in PowerPoint. Look at the following links and see if they help you:

GS,
Tags in PPT are only accessible through VBA. They are not accessible
through the main PPT GUI. But a very simple VBA routine can iterate
through every shape on every slide and check for a tag and display
it's value if found.
