URL: https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/13755


   **Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
   Superset can render dates using a data time pattern configured per column.
   
   We would like to render other business types like IP, email etc. For example rendering a link to other web apps or formatting the data which is stored differently then how it is rendered. We are implementing a custom viz to do this. However we need a means to attach metadata information to the columns in the dataset model.
   
   **Describe the solution you'd like**
   We would like to be able to "tag" columns with additional information. Perhaps something similar to the "extra" field found on the dataset but on a column basis and also available on the client side.
   
   **Describe alternatives you've considered**
   At the moment we are using the type field of the column and setting it to IPv4, Domain, Email. However this field is probably not the best choice.

   @cccs-jc the request you have is similar to in-place adding column description on semantic layer? 
   we do have plan to implement it, but would love additional help from you :)
