It cannot be done now. Technically it could be done with a "tooltip" widget.

I do find your idea interesting, and I'm trying to imagine if it could
be useful to others too. In general it could be handy to show some tag
data in a tooltip. However, I see a risk of this becoming too annoying
and distracting if you just want to browse your collection.


What do others on this list think about the idea?
