Geotagged image icon - This item had geolocation information

SUMMARY
***
Icon indicating that an image contains geolocation information is useful, but it can be even more useful if it were also a clickable icon and provide additional useful information in mouse over.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Digikam and select a photo album.
2. In the "Thumbnails" view mode select a geotagged image - containing GPS info and identified by a world globe icon in the upper right corner. (refer to attached screenshot)
3. Click on the icon.

OBSERVED RESULT
- Nothing happens when the icon is clicked as it is disabled.
- Mouse over on the icon displays help text - "This item had geolocation information." (refer to attached screenshot)

EXPECTED RESULT
- Clicking world globe icon should do something such as display the map tab in the right hand panel, as clicking on the map tab or display geotagging dialog for selected images.
- Mouse over on the icon and help text indicating latitude, longitude of item, as well as image location information (if any) such as IPTC Location, City, State-Province, Country. (Example: "Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida, United States"

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows 11

WPG Geotag mouseover

Adding a screenshot from Windows Photo Gallery for reference, when the user places the mouse pointer over the Geotag link, the entire IPTC geolocation information is displayed.

Hi

I propose to open the geolocation tab from left sidebar when user click on geotag button overlay.
This will automatically show all relevant information.

Sounds right to convert "Geotagged" overlay icon into button, but why the left-side pane instead of the right Maps tab?

If more than one items are selected, pressing GPS overlay button switch to the geolocation map with these items, not only one corresponding to the button
