This is a classic case of overengineering a solution to a nonexistent problem.
On YouTube, the video and the description are also linked. They exist on the same page always.
And even if the concern this solution is covering is what if the video is somehow shared without the description, away from YouTube, then the video could just as easily contain the description or URL or QR code pointing to the file.
The description is not big enough to hold practically any data. You would need to link to it from there.... at which point the two are no longer linked into existence. Links go down insanely often.

This is a just horribly unusable QR code.

I'm not saying embed the file I the description. Add a URL that points to the asset like we've been doing forever... This solves nothing.
