Request: Mimicking the Experience of Study Bibles

I'm using the wonderful Reading Plan tool to read through the OT, and I'm finding that seeing some images and pictures will help me visualize certain text and relieve the monotony (and boredom?) of some of the longer texts.

I set up a collection of the media resources, and I use the Explorer tool to follow the text I'm reading.  I'm finding two annoyances that I hope could be corrected:

1) The Explorer only shows the title of an article, and hovering over it the popup only shows the text but not the image itself.  I'll have to launch into the full media resource to see actual image.  Can this be changed?

[In general, I find that the several tools (Cited By, Power Lookup, Explorer, Information) that were intended to "follow" the Bible text they don't give you the full information unless you click and launch into the full resource window.  But then full resource windows don't usually have the "Follow" option.]

2) Clicking on More... will launch the full Search window -- yet another distraction and another window to manage while I'm just trying to focus on the Bible text with some study aids on the side quietly following my text.

In general, I'm hoping some minor adjustments can be made to these "Follow" tools so as to mimic a "Study Bible" type of experience.  There's a reason why these full-color study bibles -- with devotional texts, explanatory notes, color images, references, etc -- are so popular.
