Configuration Variables - Add description fields?

As per the title; standard part studio variables have description fields on mouseover which can be nice as a comment. I want to hand some parts over to someone else who may be deriving and configuring elsewhere in future though, and thought it would have been nice if while deriving they could be able to see a similar decription field on mouseover of a config variable in that derive menu.

Seconded. I have been designing a 3D printer with multiple feature configurations in addition to multiple volume configurations. It would be great if I could give this Onshape CAD to my users, and they could hover over the configuration options in the primary assembly and read descriptions of what each configuration field does… especially when there are configuration visibility conditions on some configurations!
For that matter, it would be great if there was a way to make the configuration options box in the main assembly view more prominent for end users who are using my assembly as a guide instead of a design tool.
The configuration panel isn't right for this, since it holds all the configurations in tables, and would be confusing. But a way to make the configuration selections more prominent would be awesome
