I have a master layout which includes a portal showing related records (namely a list of projects). I would dearly love to place a field (call it Master_Project) on the master layout which updates automatically as one moves through the rows of the portal - say with ProjectID or ProjectName. Thus, when one moves (say) from row 2 to row 3 in the portal, the field Master_Project will change to show data from the current portal row. Try as I might, I can only get such a field to show information from the first related portal row, irrespective of which row is active.
Something that isn't quite what you asked for but which might do the job anyway is to format every field on that portal row with a tooltip that'll display the desired info. Of course, that only works when you move the cursor over that row, not when the cursor is elsewhere on the screen, so it may not meet your needs.
