Description
What is the feature you'd like to have?
Hovering over an opcode or register in disassembly showing documentation provided by a plugin.
This would make it easier to lookup unusual opcodes or system registers.
Implementation could be for the plugins to be able to register a provider for documentation, probably in RST or Markdown, that would be displayed.
Is your feature request related to a problem?
Quickly understanding an opcode
Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
Today it requires going outside of binja to the web
Additional Information:
Additional MSRs should also be able to be documented
