I thought something like this had been touched upon at one point but I can't seem to find the thread.

Is it possible to create a user defined tag that would read a specific XML file in a zip file?  Am I wrong in believing this is what is done with files such as Docx?

I was thinking it might be possible with a external call to 7zip or with Archive::Zip but wanted to check if there was other ways. 
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

There is no way to create a user-defined tag to do this, although this is an interesting idea... I could maybe think about adding this feature if you thought it could be useful.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

No, not really worth it overall.
