What you're asking about, I think, is what Qt calls a 'tooltip'.

In LyX 2.4.1, there will be a tooltip for cross-references:

https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/8856

It will show the cross-reference number (e.g., 1.1) or, in the case of 
formatted references, the format string (e.g., section 1.1). Note that 
there is also now an option to show formatted references in the work 
area. This is under Document> Settings> Document Class.
