Not a magic, but probably, keep in mind, magic live in kernel, ipynb metadata are frontend stuff.
Even if technically it is possible, but it is ugly.
On the other hand, when you send the notebook to someone, you don't want him to 
get theses preferences.

Probably, if someone take care of it, test it, write doc, 
make it work across notebook format changes... etc.

It would make more sense as a separate package for now that could have monthly releases
with bug fixes.
