Description
### Feature Description
Show extended properties when hovering over with a mouse over a table or column within a SQL statement.
Add posibility to add or update an extended property (sp_addextendedproperty)
### Problem and Motivation
Currently, I need to go to a different documentation tool to understand column or table properties. That interrupts my workflow.

Research direction
Start by tracing the query results panel and Table Designer entry points that handle table and column hover or property display. Determine how SQL Server extended properties are currently surfaced, then define the UI and database-operation paths needed to display them and support sp_addextendedproperty updates. Done means users can view and update extended properties without leaving the workflow.
