Question on Reports

Hi ,
I would like to have a pop-up window with required values while running a report.
For example, we have a report which takes ProjectName and Iteration as input parameters. To facilitate wildcard usage, we made iteration a simple text field. But as users will be interested to see the available iterations for that project, we would like to have a small icon beside the text field, hovering on it should give a pop-up with the available iterations.
Any suggestions for this?
Thanks,
Bharath

I don't think there's any way for you to do this today, as the
parameters section isn't part of the report design, and appears before
your report is actually run. If you think this is useful functionality,
please open a work item against the Reports component and we'll look
into it for a future release.
