Or, if we supported other right-click operations, we could make that one
of the options in a right-click menu.)

Network Monitor puts the long name for the currently selected field in
the status bar, although that's not the most obvious place to look.  (It
also puts the offset and length of the field in the status bar as well.)
I forget whether it supports per-field blurbs; if it does, I don't see
any obvious way to display them.
