Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
With the new standard [RFC 9562 "Universally Unique IDentifiers (UUIDs)"](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9562) coming into force, UUIDv7 are becoming widely used as keys in databases. Functions that generate UUIDv7 [appear in the DBMS](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/sql-reference/functions/uuid-functions#generateUUIDv7).

System analysts need to quickly find fields containing UUIDs of any version in order to use these fields as primary or foreign keys.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Please highlight the names of such fields in color.

For details, see paragraphs 15 and 6 of the article ["Specification of unique UUIDv7 identifiers for database and distributed system keys according to the new RFC9562 standard"](https://prog.world/specification-of-unique-uuidv7-identifiers-for-database-and-distributed-system-keys-according-to-the-new-rfc9562-standard/).

Research direction

No source file or test is identified. Start by reviewing the UUID version requirements in RFC 9562 and the linked database-function documentation, then locate the metadata view that renders field names; done means UUID fields of any version are visibly highlighted without affecting unrelated fields.
