Description
Following my question during the webinar, for many of us, I hope it would be a game changer if we could display the SI-calculated "quality metrics" and "template metrics" in the GUI in the "unit list" or while navigating in the "trace view" between spikes and see the metrics at the spike-level: what the half-width, SNR, spread, etc. of a particular single spike is. Single- and multi-channel waveforms vary dynamically, and until now, we only had these metrics as single numbers for the STA of a SUA cluster (averaged)... But now, as we have the option to look at the spikes and individual waveforms, these descriptive quantitative properties could possibly also be available for interactive viewing at the spike level. However, if this is not possible for some reason, displaying the already calculated average "metrics" values alongside the "unit list" would already be very informative. Thanks in advance, and I appreciate your help!

Research direction
Start by locating the GUI's unit list and trace view, then trace how SpikeInterface's existing quality and template metrics are calculated and exposed. Clarify whether the first scope is average metrics beside each unit or interactive per-spike metrics; done means the agreed metrics are visible in the selected GUI view.
