Description

Is your feature request related to a problem or use case?

As a result of #2907, I would like to suggest an addition which would allow for avoiding any similar misunderstandings as I had. It is also worth noting that Tooltips have already been requested - #379 - so it might be worth reconsidering.

Describe the solution you'd like

If you hover a mouse cursor over a field/option it displays more details about it. Lots of info from FAQ/Help Topics could be moved directly into the application, including detailed explanations of SBIE Messages (errors).

This is my proof of concept. I did my best 😃 image and SBIE Messages tooltips tooltips2
