Tooltip 1/∞ tags allowed masks display of thesaurus definition tooltip

[jodygarnett]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I am frustrated doing keyword data entry, trying to determine keyword meaning and applicability.

The Canada Core Subject Thesaurus shown below includes extensive descriptions of each keyword, but these are not shown.

Describe the solution you'd like

Display Thesaurus definition as tooltip when selecting keywords to include.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Expand the list of displayed keywords to show both the keyword (in bold) and the definition (normal or grayed out).

I suspect the definitions are too long for this approach, the ability of a tooltip to be shown over multiple lines makes it a more appropriate approach.

Additional context

did you try with data-display-definition="true"

That is used in a directive to autocomplete "standard" fields like the license field with values from a thesaurus, etc, using the directive gnKeywordPicker, but the keyword widget uses gnKeywordSelector that doesn't have that.

Not really a tooltip, but a text displayed in the suggestion list

Is there a good way forward on this?
