This sounds like a great approach to me.

One option might be to borrow naming behavior from the comment
functionality in ob-tangle which looks like the following (from line 426
in ob-tangle.el).
(let (...
(source-name
(intern (or (nth 4 info) ; explicit #+name:
(format "%s:%d" ; constructed from header and position
(or (ignore-errors (nth 4 (org-heading-components)))
"No heading")
block-counter))))
...))

If you mean "should :output-dir be used as the base when :file is a
relative pathname" then I'd say "yes", and I think if this isn't the
current behavior then the current behavior should be changed.
Thanks for this nice patch,
