expose / show variables value on hover rather than Object:ID xxxxx while debug

Describe the project you are working on

3D

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project

while Debug, Most varriables I want to check value unfortunatelly show "[object: Id xxxx]" on hover or stack-variable dock;

sometimes I can check vars by click sometimes not. CAN'T show anything , it's very unfriendly for debug;

I just want to check the variable even it's a script-type on hover. It's easy I think,

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

see above

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?

If you're seeing "Object:ID" then you're trying to inspect a complex object. There is nothing to display on hover, as it typically does not have a string representation. You should click on it to expand the detailed view.

I wish I could hover with the mouse, and the popup aside from the text also had a button to show it on the inspector or debugger panel accordingly. Only while paused on the debugger, of course.

Edit to clarify: I can find whatever it is in the debug panel, and if it is an object there will be a button on the debug panel to bring it to the inspector. While debugging I might have to do that too often, so I want a shorthand from hover to the inspector. However, for non-objects showing it in the debugger panel is a fine alternative.
