Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I tend to use the Search feature for finding operations more often than not, but it's not always evident from which category they came from.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
To get a better grasp of what sorts of operations the categories represent, I think operations added to the Recipe column should list an operation's category in smaller or otherwise de-emphasized text to the right of it.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
+ This could be an option that has to be enabled via Options
+ _In my opinion, it should be enabled by default_
+ _I doubt anyone would actually be bothered by this not being a toggleable option, but I could be wrong_
+ The category could be shown as a tooltip when you hover the cursor over the operation name in the recipes column
+ _It would have to not interfere with the drag and drop functionality_
+ _Tooltip probably shouldn't appear instantaneously but wait for the user to pause the cursor over it for a brief window, e.g. 200ms_
+ Have a clickable `ⓘ` icon to the **left** of the operation name in either the Operations column or **both** the Operations and Recipes column – clicking on it would pop up documentation specific to the operation in a "pop-up" (similar to the Options "pop-up") and would list the operation category as one of the first pieces of information provided
+ _Would require either a lot more time to implement or the use of placeholder stubs_
+ _If included in the Recipes column, it would unfortunately have to interfere with drag-and-drop functionality_

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by locating the Operations and Recipes column rendering and the operation metadata used by search, then clarify which presentation option is wanted; done means recipe operations visibly identify their category without disrupting drag-and-drop.
