put attributes into file possible?

Hello everyone,

I am having a huge list of attributes being comprised of KEEP, 
DONT_TOUCH and MARK_DEBUG. It's mainly the list of signals I want to 
debug within my design. Since the list takes up so much space I was 
wondering if it's possible to somehow store all those attributes within 
a file and load them into my VHDL-design depending on a global 
constant-variable/signal/whatever?

So it would look something like this:

1
entity top is

2
end top ;

3
architecture Behavioral of top is

4
    if(DEBUG_ENABLE = "TRUE") then

5
        include "../path/to/file.txt";

6
    end if;

7
begin

8
end Behavioral;


and the file would look something like this:
1
    attribute KEEP          : string;

2
    attribute DONT_TOUCH    : string;

3
    attribute MARK_DEBUG    : string;

4
5
    attribute KEEP of signal_1            : signal is "TRUE";

6
    attribute KEEP of signal_1            : signal is "TRUE";

7
8
    attribute DONT_TOUCH of signal_1      : signal is "TRUE";

9
    attribute DONT_TOUCH of signal_1      : signal is "TRUE";

10
11
    attribute MARK_DEBUG of signal_1      : signal is "TRUE";

12
    attribute MARK_DEBUG of signal_1      : signal is "TRUE";


Anyone knows, whether that is possible?

Cheers,
Spyro

For anyone who might be interested on the topic.
Here is the stackoverflow link with some possibilities on how to 
approach this, although there seems not to exist a fitting solution to 
my request.
