Description
It would be very helpful if the extension could support datatips in edit mode as well as a workspace view. Workspace and datatips are two of the most valuable features of MATLAB, and having them fully integrated in VS Code would greatly enhance the development experience.
Currently, there is an extension that partially implements workspace functionality (https://github.com/shinyypig/matlab-in-vscode), but it still has room for improvement. Extending this to include reliable datatips would make the VS Code MATLAB environment much more productive and user-friendly.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the extension's existing workspace and datatip functionality, then clarify the edit-mode behavior and acceptance criteria with maintainers; done should mean reliable datatips are available while editing MATLAB code in VS Code.
