Sure, it can be done, somehow. But I'm not sure the additional complexity to make this possible is worth it for a barely needed feature.

It's not done with the flag alone. If some files on the source files list do have a "self-destruct" flag set, while others don't, this needs to be indicated to the user in the GUI in some suitable way – because we don't want to have a "hidden" state in the application that will take the user by surprise. And, if so, then you'd probably want to also give the user a way to set or clear the "self-destruct" flag as needed...
