User story
The feature popup functionality in Maperture is great for getting on-the-fly information about the data in the tiles. Right now, the popup shows the source and the attribute for the specific feature of interest.
When working with layers in a stylesheet (especially in a build system that is segmented out) it would be helpful to know what layer a particular feature is in when clicking and seeing the popup. This is particularly useful when QAing a style, so if a bug or unexpected render is spotted, the user can easily find the corresponding layer (file) where the style rules are defined.
Acceptance criteria
- The user is able to see the correct layer in the popup that the feature is in.
EDIT: Copied this and @mulloverit's addendum to the original description for better visibility.

Maperture is a commonly used tool for our cartography workflows; it is primarily used for creating stylesheets. Right now, the popup shows the source and the attribute for the specific feature of interest.

This improvement to the tool would speed up stylesheet development work and debugging.
Acceptance criteria
The popup when clicking on a feature in the basemap lists the source for the feature. It would be nice if the popup also showed the layer that feature is being styled in.
For example, the label for Maryland has the composite source of
place_labelbut is in thestate-labellayer of the stylesheet. it would be helpful to see that
