You can do that in SQL if your data is coming from a database.

For shapefiles, you could load them into postgis, then update the tables 
to include those values and then dump them back to shapefiles.

There might be some very basic join capabilities during queries

google: mapserver shapefile join

or look at http://mapserver.org/mapfile/join.html

The idea here would be to put the mapping data in a dbf file.
