ffmpeg can't edit an existing file.  It would have to split the various
streams and then create a new file to mux them back into.  This is
unlikely to change

This assumes that ffmpeg even exposes the option to set this mkv
exclusive metadata feature.  If this feature doesn't exist it could be a
valid feature request.

The help printed by "ffmpeg -h muxer=matroska" doesn't seem to list
anything like what you want.
