is there a way to show the number of attempts on items i've already acquired?

Some notes:

1. There appears to be no way to display the stats across characters unless an item is tracked
2. If a usable item has been obtained before Rarity tracked it, there is no way to update the counter even if it could theoretically be derived from statistics / the Achievement API
3. The item in question is a mount - not sure if this applies to all item types?
4. Rather than brute-forcing (and overriding) the actual attempts counter, calculating overall statistics based on a character or account should be done separately
5. This data could then be displayed in the UI, and possibly used to calculate luckiness for items that don't have proper data but could be of interest to the player
6. I don't know (at this time) how much of this functionality already exists, so it needs some investigation before adding anything that may end up obsolete

More requests for this feature:

Hey is there anywhere in rarity i can see how many attempts it took me on the mounts i already have that rarity was tracking while getting them? when i look at recently obtained mounts it says 0 attempts

And another from Reddit.

Should probably bump this one up in priority, seeing how it's clearly more useful than I had originally anticipated.
