Tooltip when hovering over procedure blocks

What would be a neat feature is when hovering over procedure blocks, a tooltip would show explaining what it does / what it returns.

 

You could have it be an optional behind the scenes, so that not all procedure blocks need to have tooltips.

Quite a Simple feature.

Though I only would like for the tooltip feature to work so that over time procedure blocks get a tooltip explaining them rather than everything at once. (which would take too much time)

How do I tell you that this is already a feature? Of course, not all procedures have them, but some do.
Get item from armor slot has this feature

This is what the procedure json looks like

{
 "args0": [
   {
     "type": "input_value",
     "name": "slotid",
     "check": "Number"
   },
   {
     "type": "input_value",
     "name": "entity",
     "check": "Entity"
   }
 ],
 "inputsInline": true,
 "output": "MCItem",
 "colour": 350,
 "mcreator": {
   "group": "items",
   "toolbox_id": "entitydata",
   "toolbox_init": [
     "<value name=\"slotid\"><block type=\"math_number\"><field name=\"NUM\">0</field></block></value>",
     "<value name=\"entity\"><block type=\"entity_from_deps\"></block></value>"
   ],
   "inputs": [
     "slotid",
     "entity"
   ]
 }
}

Sorry, I don't think the json has anything to do with it; Seems like tooltips are simply added by defining them on Lang like so:
blockly.block.entity_get_armor_slot_item.tooltip=ID 3 is helmet, ID 0 are boots
blockly.block.entity_set_armor_slot_item.tooltip=ID 3 is helmet, ID 0 are boots
