Details

I'm debugging a thing where important variables are m x n tables, and so inspecting their values by clicking on the little arrows that come out of the hover pop out is not very convenient. It would be super cool if I could just right click on the expression and have it console.table'd so I could see what's up in just one click.

That's a nice idea. We already have a context menu for "evaluating the expression" we could add another for "evaluating as table" or something.

We could also have some additional UI in the preview popup to add the expression as a watch expression or log it to the console as a table... maybe this shows up when the value is an array?
