Research direction
First, examine the existing 'headerText' prop implementation to understand how custom text is added to headers. Then, locate the cell rendering code (likely in a Cell component) and implement a similar prop, e.g., 'cellText', to display custom text on hover. Also consider using a tooltip library or HTML title attribute. Check if there are any existing props for cell customization to maintain consistency.
