Are you asking if this is possible with the mkv-format, or are you asking for it as a feature in makemkv?

mkv-files can have attachments of any kind. However, for these attachments to be useful, you have to establish a convention that's supported among players. At the moment, there is only one convention, and that is for cover images.

You can read about that here: http://matroska.org/technical/cover_art/index.html

In theory, attaching a synopsis as "synopsis.txt" is simple. However, for it to be useful, you'll have to convince those that makes the players to use this attachments.

MakeMKV doesn't attach cover art now. It's a planned feature. For now, you can attach covert art picture from blu-ray folder BDMV/META/DL into produced MKV file by hand, there are plenty of tools.
