We propose a novel experimental protocol to measure generalized temporal entropies in many-body quantum systems. Our approach involves using local operators as probes to characterize the out-of-equilibrium dynamics induced by a geometric double quench on a replicated system. Such protocol mimics the path-integral on the corresponding Riemann surface encoding generalized temporal entanglement. We present the results of tensor network simulations of one-dimensional systems which validate the protocol and demonstrate the experimental feasibility of measuring generalized temporal entropies, and we outline the experimental requirements for implementing these quenches using state-of-the-art quantum simulators. Our results provide thus a physical interpretation of the meaning of generalized temporal entropies. Furthermore, they reveal that the dynamics induced on two replicas of the Ising model in a transverse field differ qualitatively from the ones of its non-integrable extension, suggesting that generalized temporal entropies can be used as a tool for identifying different dynamical classes in quantum systems.
