Fusion
In the 30+ years I've worked with CAD professionally I've not seen a single CAD or other 3D modeling product attempting to implement such a thing. There might be a reason for that!

There you go, STOP all innovation now. @TrippyLighting has declared that if he hasn't seen something in the last 30 years, no one needs it. Good thing no one listened to the old draftsmen who never used CAD and never saw any use for it.
My response was aimed this being a "basic feature". When I need to record hours for freelance work I occasionally do, I use an iPhone App called HoursTracker. That app has innovative features as they pertain to time tracking.
It would be silly trying to integrate that into a CAD app!
I have seen this request only a couple of times over a period of more that 9 years on this forum, so it isn't hotly requested at all.
What would take much higher priority is to get those "innovative" features finished that are already present in some form in Fusion 360. Still, today, a design I started 14 years ago and build several times since then stretches the limits of Fusion 360 to the breaking point.
That single design has helped to fix at least a hundred Fusion 360 bugs. We (EE's ) were asked if we had designs that could help test the Configurations functionality before it was released. I submitted this design. It approximated configurations using timeline trickery, derived assemblies etc.
When configurations finally were released I refactored it using Configurations. Again, this design was able to highlight several bugs and limitations.
I'd much rather have the Fusion 360 teams focus their work on finishing the functionalities they have already started than innovative stuff that is of limited use for the vast majority of professional users.

I could list a dozens of similar small inconveniences that have not been addressed for years.
Same here 😉
But if I would have to prioritize, this time keeping feature would be in the bottom half of the list.
The "show in location" feature was near the very top of the list, along with many others that fall under the category "complexity management", which haven't been implemented yet.
