It could be done, and is not too dangerous until you want to upgrade do a new version of Moodle.

Well, in Moodle 2.0, you can tag questions, which would be a good way to implement this without any code. Just use tags for the extra information.

But I assume you want to do this in Moodle 1.9.

All the question type forms inherit from question_edit_form, so just add the dropdown there, and add a corresponding column to the mdl_question table. And then arrange to display the information in the extra column in the places you want it to be displayed.
