Virtual Column Issue

If I define a virtual column like this:

Attachment 201209

the virtual column, in this case Creator, does not acquire all of the attributes of the real column, i.e. Author:

Author Attachment 201212 Creator Attachment 201211

I think i know why, but would welcome an explanation from the developers. From my perspective the important items are Manage xxxxx, and xxxxx (Creator) link options. Why do I want this, because I get irritated whenever I see something like this:

Attachment 201213

rather than this:

Attachment 201214

I'm open to suggestions, but my preference would be a means by which I could assign a different Column Header to the authors column… ditto the id, identifiers, series, etc columns.
