Long answer:
What your are referring to is adding tags to files.
There are tons of tags for different containers, see for example https://matroska.org/technical/specs/tagging/index.html for tags in .mkv files.
Hybrid has basic support for adding tags (to most containers) through it's 'Tag'-tab and some additional tagging support for mkv through 'Config->Output->MKV Tags'.
There is no functionality to automatically tag content, so you have to set the tags yourself.
That said, there are also special tools for tagging mkv files.
MKVtoolinx (https://www.fosshub.com/MKVToolNix.html) comes with a free editor 'mkvpropedit' (https://mkvtoolnix.download/doc/mkvpropedit.html), which can be used through the mkvtoolnix-gui or through the command line.
Short:
Yes, Hybrid can add basic tags to files without the need to reencode, but Hybrid will need to remux the files.
There are tools like mkvpropedit which can change the header/tag/metadata in-place.
-> depending on what you want using another tool is probably the better way to go.
