This was discussed in the thread:
[PATCH] lavf: add textdata virtual demuxer and demuxer

Basically, my use case is injecting custom data into an output by
using an ffmpeg commandline.

For specifying data I designed the textdata demuxer, but it was
limited (no support for several streams), so I followed the advice
from Nicolas and adopted the format based on the ffprobe default
output he already developed.

I'll add more documentation and examples at the next iteration.
