"Date added" for Note attachments

This is a duplicate of Note attachments panel - sort by date? but it was made when posts in this category were auto-locked after 60 days inactivity.

When I use the Web Clipper browser extension, assets I don't need often come with it. There is no easy way to pinpoint them though. While something like this proposal is ideal, that's going to be a complicated feature. On the other hand, added a Date Created column in the "Note attachments" tool would be a much simpler addition, and it would probably be useful in other situations as well.

There sadly still isn't any convenient way of keeping track of attachments. Date Created/Modified would be so invaluable, even if it has to read from the system for an initial value.

It's possible to get this information, but it may require a plugin or using Joplin's data API.

The "debug tool" plugin, for example, lists "updated_time" and "created_time" for resources shown in its side panel:
