Research direction

Start by locating the UI code that provides the instruction summary on hover, then trace how assembly information is exposed by the core. Done means the same simple text description is available through the core API for plugins, without relying on the UI implementation.

Description

Component: API Effort: Medium Impact: Low

The UI has a nice feature that provides a summary of an instruction in some instances when you hover over it. This should be moved into the core so it could be more easily used by plugins.
