We have an addon for WAILA, named "WAWLA", created by Darkhax.
This mod expands upon how WAILA displays the name of everything the player is looking at, and gives additional information about it.
For example, when looking at an ore, WAWLA shall show at the top of the screen if the current pickaxe you're holding can mine that ore.
Another example, when hovering over an enchanted book in the player's inventory, the mod shall display a detailed paragraph on the enchantment.
