Yes, an IPackageController plugin with a before_search method should
let you do this without bloating your packages' data_dict
representations with the actual data stored. That should give you the
content search you want and maintain reasonable performance on the
front end.

A generic extension that included the data contents in solr this way
would be a really useful thing, actually.
