Hello,

Nice work with the Kibana tags in 7.11, that will be useful. 🙂

But I was thinking that it would be nice if the description was shown when hovering over the tag.

For example:

In the above screenshot, the hoverbox show `es`, while the description is `Elasticsearch`:

That way we can use shorter tags.

Best regards,

Willem

This is a good suggestion. Can you please file it as an enhancement request ?
