Variables content look-up

It would be nice to get possibility to see variable's content by pressing Ctrl key. It should work similar to Keyword documentation look-up. For example, I have variable called ${output_dir}. It is configured in Variable section as let say 'C:\output'. So I would like to get this in a pop-up window by pressing Ctrl key. It could be great if it handle also nested variables. E.g. if my ${output_dir} == '${drive_letter}\output}' and there is separately defined variable ${drive_letter}='C:' it should be correctly solved as 'C:\output'.

There are different levels of identification:
- Completely resolved variable
- Unresolved (global variable that is for example set in library)
- Partially resolved (for example ${output_dir} = '${drive_letter}\output' where ${drive_letter} is unresolved)
it is also uncertain if the resolved value is the real one if at least some user code is executed after variable initialization.
