Description
What is the feature you'd like to have?
- Access type displayed in Cross References window, similar to ida pro. This is very handy!
- Preview displaying disassembly, if Disassembly is selected. Currently (see attachments), if access is at an address that also has a name, we are seeing this name in the preview column.
Is your feature request related to a problem?
Not really, I think it is a usability feature.
Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
Alternative would be checking all xrefs manually, which also may require switching linear view to disassembly, since Cross References window uses linear display type.
Additional Information:
IDA Pro (afaik this dialog has been pretty much the same for very long time)

Research direction
The issue does not name files or tests. Start by locating the Cross References window and its current preview and access-display logic; compare the existing linear preview behavior with the requested disassembly selection. Done means the window shows access type and the preview displays disassembly when Disassembly is selected.
