Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We have descriptions of editor fields, but they are only used in aria-lable and are not accessible through tooltip or the like when using the mouse.
Describe the solution you'd like
- When hovering on the icon of an editor field show a tooltip with the description.
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Info icon on the right of the input element
- Discarded because it would litter UI with many info icons
- Info icon inside the input element
- Most input elements are dropdowns and already have the arrow down icon inside the input
- Clicking on the icon opens a modal with the description
- Our description are usually not so long to need a dedicated modal.

Research direction
Start by locating the editor field components that currently expose their descriptions through aria-label. Read how those fields render their icons and how existing tooltips are used in the app. Done means hovering the field icon shows the description without adding extra info icons, with the existing accessible label preserved.
