Do notecards have UUIDs? Wondering if it would be possible to use one object with a notecard for settings, and have other objects throughout SL read from it, if that makes sense.

Essentially, have a script reading from a notecard in a separate object, through use of UUID or something similar. They can take textures and such from UUID, but notecard? I'm not sure..

Anyone know?

I don't have a use for it in mind, just a thought that occurred to me.

Yes. You can read a notecard using its UUID. To get the key of a notecard, you must have full permissions on the notecard. Put it in object inventory and use llGetInventoryKey() to get it. Then you can use the notecard's UUID to read the notecard whether or not it is (still) in prim inventory. Also, as long as you have a notecard's UUID stored in script memory or as a lteral in your source code (e.g. "12341234-1234-1234-1234-123412341234"

, asset server garbage collection is SUPPOSED to keep it around even if it isn't in object or resident inventory.

There's a big gotcha though. If you edit and save a notecard, it actually becomes a NEW notecard with a DIFFERENT UUID. So if you need to change the data being used by your scripts, you'll have to update the UUIDs they all read from after you're done saving the new notecard.
