can this be extended to be used as notary signature directly on someone's

A notary can issue a notary signature on any signature, which includes
key certifications.  Placing the notary signature in a
signature-in-a-subpacket on the unhashed area of the original
signature would be an effective way of transporting the notary sig
around with the key.
