No, this is not possible with fvwm as of now.

This can be done using a window name.
Fortunately for you, gvim sets its name to "VIM - fname"
So, this should do the work (Ctrl-Mouse3 on the titlebar button 1 here):
Mouse 3 1 C MyGvimExclusiveAction
AddToFunc MyGvimExclusiveAction
+ WindowId $w ("VIM - fname.txt") Exec exec open-my-notes-about fname.txt
or:
+ WindowId $w ("VIM - *") Exec exec open-my-notes-about "$n"
where open-my-notes-about is your shell script, which gets the file name
or the gvim title (it should parse it, s/^VIM - //, to get the file name).
I hope, you get an idea.
If you want to have different number of titlebar buttons, you should use
FvwmEvent (see archives how) to catch VIM window and bind more buttons.
