This is possible with writing your own custom module. I did it to add a tooltip-option to an attribute. You can use the <code>adminhtml_catalog_product_attribute_edit_prepare_form</code>-event to add a field with your observer: <pre><code>$fieldset = $observer->getForm()->getElement('base_fieldset'); $fieldset->addField('tooltip', 'text', array( 'name' => 'tooltip', 'label' => Mage::helper('catalog')->__('Tooltip'), 'title' => Mage::helper('catalog')->__('Tooltip') )); </code></pre> This adds the extra field to the attribute-edit screen. Next up is to make sure the property gets saved when editing your attribute. This can be done in your installer script with something like: <pre><code>$installer->getConnection()->addColumn( $installer->getTable('catalog/eav_attribute'), 'tooltip', array( 'type' => Varien_Db_Ddl_Table::TYPE_TEXT, 'nullable' => true, 'comment' => 'Tooltip' ) ); </code></pre> You also have to make sure your <code>Model/Resource/Setup</code>-class extends <code>Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup</code> instead of <code>Mage_Core_Model_Resource_Setup</code>. Now, at this point, you can save your custom attribute property. Next step is to display it on the frontend. This can be done fairly easy, just by simple Magento templating 101: For example, in <code>catalog/product/view/type/options/configurable.phtml</code> in the <code>foreach()</code>-loop, place something like this, to display the tooltip: <pre><code>echo $_attribute->getProductAttribute()->getTooltip(); </code></pre> That's nice... Update: Since I got some questions about this subject by e-mail, I decided to write a more detailed blog post about it. You can read it here: <a href="http://gielberkers.com/add-custom-properties-magento-attributes/" rel="noreferrer">http://gielberkers.com/add-custom-properties-magento-attributes/</a>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
