yes, current qemu allow only to read|write file, could work, but it's difficult to have something 
working with any guest.

I have also find a qemu-agent re-implementation in python
https://github.com/xolox/python-negotiator
which allow custom script and command execution

(I think it could be also possible to hack official qemu-guest agent).
But that mean that user need a special "proxmox" qemu-guest agent.

Don't think it can work. it's really only for this speficic range 169.254.0.0/16

AFAIK that is currently not possible. 

I also wonder if we can use zeroconf somehow? (IPV4 link local addresses: 
169.254.0.0/16)
