In all views: for fields that are only partially visible, please show the entire field value when hovering over the field.

Example: in Table View collections, you get situations like this, with no way to see the individual entity names:

This is useless, but if we could hover over those entity references and see their names revealed, that would be useful. Then it would also make sense to allow ALT-clicking those entities (which is not allowed now).

Clicking (or ALT-clicking) one of these compressed collections resulting in a list that is the same width as the column:

Those entities all have different names, but because they start the same, they are indistinguishable. If that list was _allowed to be wider than the column_, this problem would also be solved.

When zoomed-out in a Timeline view, you can’t see any entity details at all:

Hover-info would be very useful here too.
