You can use file tags:
#+FILETAGS: :DONE:

Every headline in the file inherits the file tags. Note that this is
completely independent of TODO states.

Well, Org files are plain text, so just write it anywhere convenient. If
you do not want to see it normally, you might want to put it into a
drawer somewhere (also, IIRC drawers are not exported by default), e.g.


* some node
  :FILETOPIC:
  In this file, I want to keep track of sightings of purple elephants.
  Green elephants should be recorded somewhere else.
  :END:

Maybe a better question to ask would be where people who do something
similar write their notes, and if there are any specific reasons to
prefer one place to another?
