That's something that would be possible with IPNS (which allows a mutable 'pointer' to an IPFS hash, though this is just my lay understanding).
This way your IPNS address becomes your DOI equivalent, but also providing the IPFS hash would give a static reference to exactly what it was you saw.
There are some kinks here, as there isn't currently a way of verifying that the IPFS hash given was seen at the IPNS address. You also can't take an IPNS address and get all previous versions. It does sound like that's possible to add to IPNS, but is a future plan. It would be a step forwards from the current system though.
