But I do have access to the STATEMENT right?

​Yes, except nothing in the system actually attempts to directly target information_schema views with updates so there will never be a triggering event.​

A normal trigger will not work - which is a large reason why event triggers were implemented.

All of the alternative ideas (which I think was just log file parsing) you've decided are not viable for your need.  Thus you've seemingly eliminated all viable options and you now need to make a business decision.
