[mapserver-users] How to pimp WMS meta information?

Hello list,

trying to set up a multi-map service based WMS mapservices and OpenLayers, I 
would like to retrieve user-defined meta information from a map via the 
GetCapabilities request.

For example, if I define

    METADATA
       WMS_TITLE                   "Palliativstationen"
       WMS_ONLINERESOURCE          "http://gis.local/wms/palliativ"
       WMS_SRS                     "epsg:31468"

       WMS_SHOW_QUERY_IN           "large_popup"

     END

I would like to retrieve the value "large_popup" of WMS_SHOW_QUERY_IN through 
the GetCapabilities call. The background idea is that this information could be 
used by my application but should not harm other people's use of the WMS service.

Is there any viable way to accomplish this with a mapserver based WMS service?

Regards - Markus
