Hover previews can easily become too cluttered

Hovering over data in a space view can easily become quite cluttered (see screenshot and video).

We should therefore

• Hide indicator components from hover ui #3548 Hide indicator components as they aren't really the data you are interested in inspecting in a view.
• Not show PinholeProjection, Resolution, or AnnotationContext when hovering an image
  • Is there anything else?
• Make sure the hover preview doesn't cover the part of the view where you're currently hovering.
  • If fixing this isn't achievable quickly, that should be broken out to a separate issue and handled in a later cycle

I also wonder about "hover position" for 3D points when hover in 2D. I think we should remove it but I may be wrong. I definitely don't understand it.

Afaik showing the position was a user request:

• Show the coordinate of what is being hovered in the tooltip #3226

Also not happy with what it looks like though in the ui. There's some more notes on the topic here

• Show hovered Space View position for 2D & 3D space views #2843

In my opinion the current implementation makes things worse more than better. It's not worth the added clutter when it's hard to understand
