is there a way to customize the link text for linked workitems?

when working with a large project, with workitems linked together, its hard to tell some of the info that you need from the linked workitems.. their priority, status, and maybe some particular details.. assigned, etc..

you can get all that data from hover, but hovering over 50 links one at a time really stinks..
we would like the ability to customize the data presented as the link text.

I opened an Enhancement Request to track this.,
