Interesting! I am trying to get my mind around this. It is
definitely an intriguing idea, putting aside the complexities of
implementation. I could see it being useful, along the lines of all
the tangling examples in org-babel.
Whether I would use something like this or not is difficult to
ascertain. I don't need to write long documents like a thesis (any
more! although my students do ;-); more importantly, I often will
prepare more than one presentation based on a given project and each
presentation will be substantially different enough to make it
difficult to embed slides.

Yes, this I can see. However, the type of different content you may
wish to attach/embed will depend on its final purpose. That is, in
terms of presentations, who will be in the audience?

This begs the question: maybe an "export to org based on tags"
function is all that is required? And this is probably already
implemented; I hesitate to suggest how or where, given my lack of
awareness of all the various multitude of features of org-mode, but I
can imagine that sparse trees could be part of any solution?
Just some thoughts...
