Showing information like class names or other when hovering over keyword/tag/brace(especially on closing tag/brace) will help to determine on whichever container you're looking even if it's begining in hundreds of lines away from you.

Is this for a specific language? Can you give an example of the tags you mean?

I think it could be useful for any language with matching functionality (tags, brackets, ...)

html:

<div class="something">
    <!-- a lot of content -->
</div><!-- hover over closing div should show `.something` -->

typescript:

function something(a: string, b: string) {
    // a lot of content
}// hover over matching bracket should show `function something(a:string, b: string)`

scss:

.selector {
    // content
    .nested {
        // content
        .thing {
            // content
        }
    }
}// hover over matching bracket should show `.selector`

...
