Don't think they can. Keychain is supposed to be a secure storage solution, so I can't imagine they want users to be able to view that data, and it would be hard to manage it without knowing what it was. That said, I found a post from last year saying that they would like to phase key-chain persistence out at some point, but it was fairly free of actual commitments.

And on macOS I can poke around the keychain to my heart’s content. It would be ralatively easy to provide a way to dump an app’s (or app group’s) keychain values in Settings.app.

You can set some expiration linked back to the app that created that pair and when that app goes away that invalidates that pair, or have app related containers inside the Keychain that also get removed with the app. It is an implementation detail.
