Description

When I have parsed a bit-container with a KS spec, and noticed a suspicious pattern within some blob, it'd be nice to view which field is that blob in a tooltip by hovering it in the view and go to that field in Extractor by ctrl+click.

Research direction

Start by locating the view rendering for colored areas and the Extractor navigation entry point; check how parsed KS fields are associated with those areas. Done means hovering identifies the field in a tooltip and Ctrl-clicking opens that field in Extractor, with the interaction verified in the GUI.
