Description
I thought this was implemented in LSP4IJ's DAP support, but perhaps not. In this debugger (from my own plugin), you can see variable values displayed inline in the editor:
Here is another debugger for the same language integrated via DAP and LSP4IJ at the same line of execution:
The variable values are known as shown in the debugger's Threads & Variables view, but they are not displayed inline in the editor.
Should that work? Is it something missing from this specific DAP server implementation? If so, what would be unimplemented there so I can log an issue in its public issue tracker?

Research direction
Start by tracing LSP4IJ's DAP support and comparing the Threads & Variables data with the debugger's inline presentation behavior. Determine whether inline values are expected from the DAP server or the IntelliJ client; done means documenting the responsible side and identifying the missing capability or implementation area.
