Is your feature request related to a problem?

The Calc tab's hover feature to show sources of resistances, life, etc. is extremely useful when looking at imported builds, and when troubleshooting your own.

I'd like to be able to see where the stats are coming from like you can in the Calc section

Describe the solution you'd like

show sources on hover in the left sidebar

Describe alternatives you've considered

(ctrl/alt/shift) Clicking on stat in the sidebar could take you to Calc page, focusing the stat's window somehow.

Ctrl+Click Chaos res in sidebar

And this opens up

Maybe add an expand/collapse all button to Calcs while you're at it 👍

Additional context

I think this addition could improve the user experience not only for POB power users by acting as an additional navigation method, but also for noobs to see where their stats are actually coming from at a glance.

Research direction

Start by comparing the Calc tab's existing hover source display with the left sidebar stat controls described in the issue. Determine how sidebar hover or modifier-click should expose the same stat sources or open the relevant Calc view; done means the chosen interaction works from anywhere and matches the existing Calc behavior.
