I cannot figure out how to show a ray's extended line value while moving over the chart with the cursor as crosshair.
I see a value for the Y axis but nothing for where the trendline/ray, etc. is as of the date or time of the bar I settle the cursor on.
Searched but didn't find the setting.
How can I accomplish the above?

Drawing values are not displayed anywhere, apart from the end point for some of the drawings.

The only way to do what you are wanting would be to use the Spreadsheet Formula and enter the following formula:
=UDID[x][0]

where x is the ID number of the drawing.

The Spreadsheet Formula uses the Alert syntax. Refer to the information here:
Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Reference by Bar Value

You can then use the Crosshair and Tool Values Window to see the actual value of the drawing at any bar.
