AFAIK, data base records do not expose a standard attribute that holds their creation o modification date like file system entries do. Data base designers usually add such timestamps field on a per-table basis. I think you are looking for a make that lets users override the file look up for certain pseudo targets. Such a feature would also allow to handle more gracefully the case where the target is a directory. Good luck!
