GitHub user sshiv012 added a comment to the discussion: Show several operators' results at once: a tab per result, and a preview on hover
I like the hover result preview direction because it better matches the primary workflow-authoring task. Most result inspection during workflow construction is lightweight: checking row count, schema, or a handful of values, so opening a large bottom result panel introduces unnecessary context switching. A useful interaction model would be progressive disclosure: hover for a lightweight preview, click/pin for persistent inspection, and open the full result panel for deeper exploration. This preserves the current full result viewer for statistics, column navigation, search, etc., while making the common debugging path much faster. would avoid making the feature purely hover-dependent, though. There should be a small hover delay to avoid accidental activation, keyboard/focus support, and an explicit affordance or click action to pin/open the result. W3C's guidance for hover-triggered content similarly emphasizes that such content must remain interactable and should not disappear unexpectedly. Conceptually: Canvas → Hover preview → Persistent/full result rather than having every intermediate inspection immediately open the large result panel.
