It would be great if it was possible to right click on a field heading in the attribute table and choose an option to show just the field level metadata for that particular field (if available) from the metadata.  That way if it is unclear what a field heading means or if the data in the field needs explaination and this explaination is held as field level metadata this can be easily and quickly seen without having to open the metadata and scroll wayyy down to the bottom to find it.

I'd recommend giving these ideas a kudo to support this functionality.
