Describe the feature:

The field caps API is already reporting when a field is a time_series_dimension field type (on top of the more generic keyword type), but there's no use of such information in the UnifiedfieldList component.
I would propose to make it a new valid field type with a new token icon (using for the prototype the tag icon):

Also it would be nice to indicate that a gauge and a counter are a time series metric field types, and hint the user about linked time series dimension (just a copy right now, but perhaps a filter/drilldown action would be a nice to have):

Hi @dej611,

Do we still want to add support for this new type? Was there anything blocking?
