Not related to the question, but note that there is no such word as thats: the possessive form of the subordinator that is whose. I’ve fixed this in your question, and I’ve also removed the last bit asking people to make up words for the concept, since that’s too broad and subjective to be considered on topic here. Other than that, +1 for an interesting question! I’m not aware of a word for this, but there probably is one.
