   I really like the idea of using an Extension type for this usecase because 
it has several existing precidents (e.g. Variant and Geometry) and we already 
pass the Arrow schema into the parquet reader. 
   
   I didn't quite follow the conversation above about `with_metadata_columns`  
with @jkylling 
   
   BTW I will have more time to help with this feature after I complete  the 
following items (which I think will make threading this information down into 
the reader much easier)
   - https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/7997
   - https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/8677
   
   I expect to merge / make progress on this tomorrow
