The note file is uploaded as plain text.  In your example, you would simply
do

set(CTEST_NOTES_FILES "/my/path/to/mynote.txt")

And then the contents of mynote.txt will be added to this build as a note.

Even if you upload a script using this feature it will still be treated as
plain text.  No need to worry about bash vs. python vs. ctest scripting, as
neither CTest or CDash will make an effort to execute your note file.

HTH,
