PGN does not show Clock information with milli second precision , is it possible to get this info?

I am doing some analysis of some games and wanted to check correlation between move time and accuracy , this need not be a feature for general public - as this will increase the size of PGN but is there a way to get his info?, On demand and need - one should be able to pull this information.
This may be useful feature in general also for those playing bullet and blitz , sometimes even when I play pre-move I seem to run out of time. if we have this info - it will be nice to see how much time on average we spend. lichess web has this info already displayed. but getting this info via some api will be so useful.

Request:
PGN downloaded does not show Clock information with milli second precision , is it possible to get this info
For example PGN downloaded shows [%clk 0:05:00] h:mm:ss - is it possible to download the clock information with milli second precision , as the
lichess clock does show this information after the game : imgur.com/gallery/CBKr0O3

from PGN:
1. e4 { [%eval 0.25] [%clk 0:05:00] } 1... e6 { [%eval 0.13] [%clk 0:05:00] } 2

PGN does not show Clock information with milli second precision.
Suggestion: The above is feature request , that can be implemented via some special flag ( or option) that can be passed to an api call. Which is only invoked when special flag is set. it will be very helpful to analyze ( after the game) for bottlenecks, where most time ( unexpected) is being spent , especially in bullet games and blitz games when each micro-second is important.
Please refer to this for summary (Nice and useful feature) : imgur.com/gallery/JcNokYY
is this possible ? Any help will be really appreciated. I am looking for easiest option that helps me pull this milli-second info, because I can see it in imgur.com/gallery/CBKr0O3 ( So it is being stored) - is there any generic api that helps me query this info?
When will someone tell him, that he doesn't know what milliseconds are, which is really embarrassing, because the prefix 'milli' literally means 'a thousandth'?
@nooboss : don't be caught up with terminology . People reading can understand what is intended .I have also uploaded pictures of what I am looking for. I am looking for 1/10 th of second Units ( in discrete units of 100 ms) information as is being currently shown in the lichess web.

I also understand that it cannot be incorporated in PGN as PGN specification does not have 1/10th of second.
I am looking for some API or some other means( Custom api or something on those lines).

PS: There is nothing embarrassing is not knowing something , if I don't know something , I will gladly find out and then learn. It just takes a milli second to learn :-)
Hello,

There's an ongoing issue on GitHub: github.com/ornicar/lila/issues/6750 What's inhibiting us for now is we don't know how standard chess softwares will react since it's not standard. If you tested it you could send your results here.
Thanks @Solal35 .
I agree with you @Solal35 . The github issue you sent me was exactly what I was looking for . Thank you!!! . This is what I am trying to do : imgur.com/gallery/JcNokYY
My 2 cents:
I am not using standard software - but my own scripts for very specific purpose.
It is also very risky to implement a generic solution. and in my opinion should not be implemented as default. [ could lead to size issue + breaking standard software issues ] + Not yet part of PGN Standard.
But for those wanting just this information ( One time and For very specific purpose) - since it is already available in the database could there be some way that we can pull this information? [ similar to this request : github.com/ornicar/lila/issues/6750 ]
For example : when PGN is generated/downloaded ( databse.lichess.org] could there be some flag along with clock information ( which can be enabled : high_precision_clock_info= Yes ) which will give us this information?
BTW, I have updated the github link that you sent me.
