Is there an equivalent of the cylc 7 “preq’s and outputs” pop up box?

This was quite handy for checking dependencies for complex graphs where you couldn’t always trace things in the graph view.

This feature will arrive in a future release of the Cylc UI.

The plan is to integrate it with a view which displays active broadcasts and any configured task `[meta]`data.

You can track this feature on GitHub: [task metadata view · Issue #1071 · cylc/cylc-ui · GitHub](https://github.com/cylc/cylc-ui/issues/1071)
