Can I categorise content in a Web Project?

Some background - in case I am trying to do something silly.
AIM
I want to manage a small Web Application AND some dynamic content through a common approval process. The webapp queries the content dynamically through JSONP served by Alfresco Web scripts from the AVM.

MY APPROACH
As it stands I have both webapp resources and the dynamic content under a single Web project.
This has key advantages that …
a) Site approval happens through one workflow
b) I can use the snapshots to deploy/retract complex interrelated content changes easily
c) When I preview from a virtualisation server, the jsonp client derives a sandbox name from the host and queries content from the same sandbox so I get a fully virtualised preview.

THE PROBLEM
The content queries need to use categorisation (and ultimately other custom content properties).
When I look at the details of web content, I don't see the properties I see on content elsewhere (e.g. Category/Allow Categorization)
Can I add/reveal a categorisation aspect to content in a Web Project or do I need to move to using a separate content space (and presumably a separate approval process)?

I hope the questions make sense. Many thanks to anyone who can help steer me in the right direction
Richard

You can use XML meta-data extraction to add / update custom meta-data properties. See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Metadata_Extraction#XML_Meta-data_Extractor_Configuration_for_WCM.

These should be searchable from your webscript.
