[FR] Add eldoc support to show cell contents in shrunk table

I'm trying to create an automatic way to see the full contents of an
org table cell while keeping the table compact. I've discovered
org-table-shrink and then display-local-help to see the contents, but
I want this to be done automatically using eldoc. I grabbed and
modified a function from org-eldoc.el which could be added into
org-eldoc-documentation-function:

(defun org-eldoc-get-cell-contents ()
  "Return cell contents if in a shrunken table cell."
  (let ((case-fold-search t))
    (save-excursion
      (save-match-data
        (when (org-at-table-p)
          (display-local-help))))))

I don't really know what I'm doing since I'm not a developer of Emacs
or org-mode and straight up using display-local-help doesn't seem
right to me. I think I have unneeded code in there too. Does anyone
have a better direction on how to get the cell contents when in an org
table or corrections to this function?
