I was actually tinkering around last week with a way to generate a column whose value was derived from a user-defined display filter. It doesn't look like it would be incredibly difficult.

This might be especially useful if the column was simply a user definable string, where display filters are simply inserted and resolve to strings (i.e. "Reply in: " && smb.response_in), but perhaps also only display the string if certain criteria are met.
