Win explorer show column of date updating when file name is changed?

something like this, I went into more options in the context menu and tried bunch of dates one (date accessed, completed, sent, archived etc etc) and none of them gives me what I wanted

basically file name changes would change the date (not necessary date modified column and that can stay as is) but another column with date that gets affected when file name is changed.

    Windows Explorer does not natively show a column for "last filename change."To achieve this, you need to use scripting or third-party tools to monitor and log filename changes with timestamps.
