Item description viewable in experience builder using the layers widget or a separate embeddable widget.

It would improve the user experience for us to be able to see the item details/overview or description in experience builder without having to open a separate browser window. We can put guidance on how to understand/use the layer and contextual information in the item description on ArcGIS Online, which would pull into any experience builder apps. Something like the images below. It could be using an anchored window within the map layers widget or it could be a fixed panel which is linked to the selected item in the map layers widget. Thank you! Heather

Option A

Hi,

We are looking forward for this idea also. We need to make some kind of explanation for each layer. Does anybody know the status ?

Thanks,

This would be really useful. I haven't figured out anyway to do this with Arcade. It would be create if one could access this through $layer.summary, $layer.description, $layer.credits etc.
