Tooltip is not used with the current implementation the comment is put in a
header field which can be added as a custom column. I'm not sure this will look
nice with the Information column as that can be quite wide.

One idea is to also make it an expert filed, color green? Then you could see
all
comments collected troug the expert menu and a green LED would indicate that
there is comments.

As for edits I think that poping up a edit window is the answer.

Regards
Anders
