This is the job of the opening report. I don't see a way to add extra information to Tree window keeping readable, and with a reasonable size. "Unfolding" moves from a position may be useful but it should be exhaustive and a way must be found to only display main lines that is those that were successful and played a significant number of times. > Here, one could IMHO also pull in the contents of some > opening book(s) for display... > > - I've the problem with a bit longer textual annotations as > the tool tip is not really perfect here.
