Feature Request: Option Name on Mouseover

It would be lovely if when one moused over a link for an Option for a given unit the Name would appear in a mouseover. The Unique Id is often too cryptic.
 
Thanks for your feature request! We don't currently display this because if the option is defined in another file, ABCreator won't be able to show any information about it. :(
 
Perhaps a way to specify other files you want values read in from, along with a "reload" menu item (to refresh the list, after you make updates in the other file(s)).

Some (at least limited) reading of other files appears to be going on, as when working in a .dat file the race tags are read in from the separate .def file. And one must reload the .dat file to pick up changes in the .def file.

Going one step further with this, one would then be able to, for example: when creating a new link to an option select from a drop down list of option_ids instead of having to trust to memory or copying/pasting from another file. Autocomplete while typing out the option would be awesome too.
