> Inline expansion is pretty disruptive too. It requires you to expand and collapse when you are done to get the space back. Popovers are transient and hide automatically when attention (the mouse) moves away. Inline expansion with multiple objects on the same line quickly becomes a chaos, as you can get in the console. I'ver been considering removing inline expansion in the console because of that (at least for multiple objects on one line) and using a popover.

Another option, if the bubble allows selection (like a token), we could push a selection state, making it show up in the navigation bar path. Then you can have a details sidebar that has the details of the value. This is something we might do for probes, which would show you the history of the value, not just the last value.
