Detailed view of selected item

Ok this one would be a whole lot of work, but incredibly awesome!
Imagine a detailed view box below the default menu items or as an extra panel (the tab-thing)
In the box you will see a detailed view of the selected item.
For example:
Select a dwarf (v). Now you will see the dwarf with his/her full body features, clothing and wounds.
You could do the same with items, animals, ground surface and even engravings.

If it won't be implemented in the main game, are all the required information in the raws, so that it would be possible to make this as a mod?

You could probably pull the info from the memory and then make some program to render a 3d model of it.

But as you said, Toady probably won't do it. I do think that it would be nice to have more exportability though.

Iv seen people who haven't had a redheaded person in their family for quite a while, and then out of nowhere two out of three of their children have red hair.
What color was the mailman's hair?

Oh damn ok.
Editing in the raws is no problem for me, but extracting info from memory is way out of my league.
