Am I missing something here? I understand I cannot enter tip information for VIs or functions, and only for controls, indicators or constants, but shouldn't shared variables logically fall into a tip-enabled category? New developers assigned to our projects with the variable architecture already defined need a way to quickly refer to what indexes to use, and tip would be much more convenient than opening up the description in properties. This won't be the first time I've blatantly missed something obvious, so feel free to rub it in my face if I'm overlooking something.

I've found you can't get the information by highlighting a shared variable dropped into a VI, but rather by just hovering your cursor over the variable in the shared variables list in the project window.
