I can't find a single thing about this in the ffmpeg documentation.
How is this called, where can I read more about it and - most importantly -
does it work out of the box?

An option that I'm looking for should work without providing custom
arguments in ffmpeg!

Regardless, this would be a rather big security hole as a potential key
would be plainly visible in url logging.
Therefore "hiding" it in a file is probably a better and more secure
approach.
