Display name of the part in the tree

Is it possible to have different display name of the part in the tree than just standard "Name".
For example I have part called "Bracket". It has Part number 12345 and revision A.
I would like to see it in the tree as "12345-A Bracket".
Of course I can change its "Name" to "12345-A Bracket" but that would be duplicating properties.
Can I somehow use in the Properties tab something like Name=[Part number] + "-" + [Description]
