Description

Currently we only have CWE ids. For users it is often handy to see what weakness is linked without having to click on it. In Mapanalysis especially.
We have titles (Sectionnames) for many standards.
I think we used to have the titles.

Research direction

Start by locating where CWE IDs are rendered, especially in Mapanalysis, and inspect how Sectionnames or titles are stored for other standards. Done means users can see the corresponding CWE weakness title without following the link; the issue does not name a file or test to run.
