You might want to consider using xsd:appinfo for that purpose. This can contain any XML content:

<xs:schema>
    <xs:complexType name="CustomType">
        <xs:annotation>
            <xs:appinfo>
               <representation>BlaBla</representation>
            </xs:appinfo>
        </xs:annotation>
    </xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
