Is it possible to split the content of a Alternative Data stream and populate it into custom columns?

Is it possible to split the content of a Alternative Data stream and populate it into custom columns and have this association applied at all times not just when a search/filter is active?
I found a similar question but on experimenting with the solution proposed by void, the operation is only being applied while the search is active.
I know its currently possible to associate the value of a alternative data stream to a custom column:
Making these custom columns act like they are native windows properties (within Everything), being able to search, sort, reference them in real time just like any other column, of course if the ADS is indexed.
I am stuck in a case where I am dealing with a stream designed for another programme's custom columns. All column data is written to a single stream, each columns value is written to a single line of the steam:
I would like to extract the values found within and assign them to custom columns and simply name these custom columns what they are called elsewhere. I really need this feature to synchronise Everything with a few programmes that make use of ADS streams in this manner.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

custom_property_0=foo
