The original message has not disappeared, you can re-read it.

"add a custom number [] before I encode it  and I want to retrieve it
back when I decode it."

Once FFmpeg has encoded and muxed, it is done with the data, there is no
connection to a later decoder. Therefore any transmitted data needs to
be in the output file.
