Would it be possible to include the discovery date and possibly who discovered a selected celestial object in the information panel?

I think @alex-w has just done that.
Others have complained that there is too much information. We really should not overdo it. The WWW is full of info, and other databases (e.g. SIMBAD) are "official".

I've added this info for Messier objects only as an additional data. I hope this feature will be added into next generation of DSO catalog as main feature. We may add discovery date and discoverer info for Solar system objects also as a main feature for some subset of objects (from our database only).
