Notes from bidders to items in bidding window

Hello there, I was wondering if in the future the creator would consider giving bidders the ability to write small notes per item in the bidding window (RCLC has this option too). That way, in a scenario where a player is interested in multiple items but might only get one with his/her current DKP standing, the player could specify which item is preferred. For our own guild that would also be handy as we have 6 bidding tiers, so with CLM we'd need to combine two tiers in one and with a note players could specify which one of the tiers they want.
Ah, I see. In my opinion adding a small column with note symbols wouldn't be too bad. Another idea: would it be possible to have little tabs above the window with which you can switch views. In one tab you see the upgraded items, in the other tab you see the notes (if any). See the figure below wherein I tried to illustrate it. Your idea of the note popping if you hover over the row also works, you can slightly color the rows with notes. In that case I would suggest that the note window pops up to the side of the main window rather than next to the cursor otherwise that could get annoying having notes block your view as you traverse your cursor over the bidding window.
a hover tooltip will do perfectly fine (see comment above for my comments on it), whether it is feasible to implement you will know better than me, I'm not a developer :)
I honestly love the idea. But also i dont think it's doable with the table libraries i'm using as in reality it would require whole table reloads. Do you think Hover tooltip idea is feasible?
On the user side the bidding windows gets a note icon/button. If someone clicks on it, it opens a small window in which you can type stuff. It can be a fixed size and you could set a character limit. People should only need to write a word or two. On ML side, the auctioning window of an item gets an extra column titled "Notes" inside the "Bidding" section. You could display the content of the notes there. You can set the character limit in the note in such a way that there is no chance of the note getting too big to display. Alternatively, you could populate the column with the note icon and if a note for a particular bidder is not empty, the icon gets a diffrent color. If you then click on it it opens a small window with the contents of the note.
Hmmm I do not like the idea of new column. this would expand the window even more, which already is too wide. However maybe a tooltip onhover of the bid? But would need to indicate somehow that the note is there
