Showing function/variable/value comments in tooltips?

Is there a way to get IDEA to show comments there are connected to objects, classes, traits, functions, variables, or values? I'm currently working in a huge codebase and anytime I need comments I have to open up the file to read them. If this isn't possible, please consider this as a feature request. Plug-ins like Visual Assist for Visual Studio do something like this and I've found it extremely helpful.

 

Thanks!
