Description
Per the below discussion, we've decided this is a good addition and are queueing it for development. This should happen against the `v2-exp` branch for Bubbles v2.

To make filepicker looks like `ls -l`, it would be awesome if we could optionally add file modification times to the filepicker bubble.
Ideally, the filepicker should be configurable to:
- Hide/show modification time
- Allow providing a custom layout for `time.Format()`
Actually, I just discovered this discussions forum when reading the Contributing document before creating a PR (I had hard times to find it before that readme links are incorrect).
So I already have done few things that can be used as a discussion support:
- I have created an issue #780
- I forked bubbles and made a first implementation ([see compare here](https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles/compare/master...loicalbertin:bubbles:feature/GH-780-modtime-on-filepicker))
- I have created a demo app https://github.com/loicalbertin/bubbles-filepicker-with-modtime
- I'm ready to open a PR if you're interested by this feature
Here is the recorded demo:
