The preference misses concepts for common usage in UI such as keywords and labels. Having keywords and labels associated to a preference would allow easier factorization and research in the various entry points such as PreferenceDialog or Quick Access and could also be used by Oomph to show more meaningful data to users.
To achieve that, the Platform UI component could provide a `preferenceDescription` extension-point, allowing to bind keywords, label and description to a preference. These values could be returned by new methods in PreferenceUtil API and used by various use-cases.
