It's just a SMOP (Simple Matter of Programming).  Unfortunately such a
column does not currently exist.  Could one be added?  Yes.  But it would
require some programming to do it.  You have two choices:

1) You could file an enhancement request in bugzilla, uservoice, or both, or
2) You could supply a patch.

#2 will result in your feature being implemented much quicker  ;)
