Plugin idea or feature suggestion: Resolve Unity fileIDs

Hi everyone,

Unity has great support for version control since all files are text, but especially scene files can be almost useless since all references are IDs. So even with Rider's great diff view, it can be hard to tell what was changed. I thought it would be amazing if I could hover an ID when viewing a git diff in Rider and see what it refers to. Kinda like this:

Are there plans to integrate this into Rider? Would that be too computationally heavy? Could this be done with a plugin?

A while ago, I was thinking about writing a tool for command line git to help with this. I did some research and such a thing does not seem to exist. I have now switched to doing all my git operations inside of Rider since Rider's git functionalities are so good, they even convinced a hardcore command line user like me. I'm not sure if I have time to tackle this idea myself, but if there are any plans or existing similar solutions, please let me know.

Hello, 

Thanks for your feedback. Currently, this feature is not yet available in Rider. However, it is already tracked under the following ticket: RIDER-95107 When editing asset files and asset file diffs, inlay hints for guids would be extremely useful. To help prioritize this feature, you can upvote the ticket. Your input will give our development team valuable insight into its importance to users. 

We will update the ticket if there is any progress. You can subscribe to receive further updates.
