Sounds like a bit of an exotic feature to me.

Jumping around within the same file is not a problem, doing a redirection to a
new file is also not a problem, but seamlessly jumping from one file to another
and keeping state is a bit of a problem with our current design/demuxer because
the assumption is almost always that there's only one file/stream input.

For things like external subtitles other elements like playbin hook up the
second input.  In other words: you'd probably need a special-case element/bin
for this.

It'd also be possible to make matroska-demux support a bunch of request sink
pads (one per file referenced) and make the application/playbin/a helper bin
connect those by posting messages on the bus or emitting signas, but this would
involve a major rewrite of the matroska demuxer.
