GitHub user zyratlo added a comment to the discussion: Show several operators' 
results at once: a tab per result, and a preview on hover

I agree we need some way to see more than one result at a time.

For the auto-popup, I think the hover should stay small and a bit delayed. If 
it only appears after the cursor rests on the operator for about half a second, 
and never while dragging, linking, or right after a click, the people who want 
a peek get one and everyone else doesn't notice it. I don't think it should 
show the entire result, only a preview. The hover screenshot in the prototype 
is a good example.

I like the pinning idea, the popup could have a pin button that turns it into a 
window next to the operator with the full result, so opening a bigger view is 
always a choice the user makes. A setting to turn hover previews off would be 
cheap to add too.

I also like the result panel with multiple tabs, my concern is how we'd show 
multiple results at the same time. Tabs still only show one full result at 
once, so we'd need either a side-by-side view in the result panel or pinned 
popup windows. I prefer the popup windows, since the result sits next to the 
operator it came from, but the extra clutter from windows might cover up other 
operators which makes the workflow more messy.
