Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm using the composite module to layer up some pictures of the local Guy Fawkes bonfire night fireworks in order to reduce noise through averaging and add more bangs with fireworks that went off at various times. When I've added several iterations of Composite it becomes difficult to keep track of which one is which.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be helpful to have a tooltip when hovering over the thumbnail to identify the image used.
Alternatives
Perhaps even the module name could auto-update.
A further step could be to have the image highlighted on the filmstrip.

Research direction
Start by locating the Composite module's thumbnail UI and reviewing how existing tooltips are implemented. The work is done when hovering over a Composite thumbnail identifies the image used, with the optional module-name and filmstrip ideas treated as separate possibilities.
