The only way of doing something like this is with the same sort of hacks mentioned above to retrieve detailed review data into a custom identifier and then having a custom column displaying that “identifier”. You cannot directly populate a custom column from a metadata download plugin, this is a limitation in the calibre plugin api design.
So while yes it technically “could” be done in a way using that approach the next question then becomes is it really worth the development effort of doing so, given no-one else has asked for this feature in the at least 12+ years this plugin has existed
It is clearly not something there is high demand for, and if it is only ever going to be used by 1-2 people then the answer is going to be no. The source code is available for you to modify the plugin for your own purposes to add this feature for yourself of course.
