How can I show annotations in PhpStorm/WebStorm search preview

Question

When previewing a file in the search window, the "Annotate" (git blame) option is grayed out. Is there a way to enable this with an config option or a plugin? Searching "phpstorm show annotations in search" takes me to this unrelated question: How to display "git blame" in PhpStorm after opening file by default

Answer 1

No, it's not possible: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-250927. Just open the file & use Annotate there instead.

Answer 2

As of at least version 2022.3.1 this is now available. It seems to work for most files.
