Is it possible to add custom columns, then use those columns as keywords for performing actions such as renaming, advanced searching, info tips?

Are those columns stored in some type of metadata file that carries over into other applications?

Thanks

Scripts can add custom columns that do that, yes. They aren't "stored" anywhere though, they're generated dynamically by the script.
