Description
What is the feature you'd like to have?
Additional data in new columns in the strings view:
- Section name
- Memory region name (from memory map)
- Function symbol name (if in function)
- Struct name (if within a struct)
- Data symbol name (if within a data symbol)
- List of any tags on addresses that fall within the range of addresses inside the string. These can even just be a row of emoji from the tags that can be hovered to see the tag content. This would allow for full parity with quantumstrand including the row with
#common,#code-junk, and#winapias examples from the screenshot below.

Research direction
Start at the strings view and trace how string address ranges connect to section names, the memory map, function and data symbols, structs, and address tags. The work is done when the strings list exposes the requested metadata columns and tags, including the listed example tags where applicable.
