Description
Currently, browsers info and Baseline status is displayed only for CSS properties themselves, but not for their values.
Different values for the same CSS property may have different browsers support. This info is already in the @vscode/web-custom-data/data/browsers.css-data.json file, but is not exposed in the VSCode UI now.
And also currently hovering over the value of a CSS property displays documentation for the property itself, not for the value.

Research direction
Start by examining @vscode/web-custom-data/data/browsers.css-data.json, which already contains browser support and Baseline information for CSS values. Trace how the language service currently provides property documentation and browser information, then expose the corresponding value data in the UI and show value-specific hover documentation. Done means CSS values display their own documentation, browser support, and Baseline status.
