Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated when I need to quickly check my device's assigned NetBird IP address or domain name. I have to interrupt my workflow to open a web browser, navigate to the NetBird dashboard, and then search for my peer in the list just to find this basic information. This process feels cumbersome for details that should be readily accessible.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like the NetBird client UI to clearly display two key pieces of information:

The device's currently assigned NetBird IP address.

The device's full NetBird domain name.

Additionally, I propose adding a simple shortcut button, such as "Open Dashboard," that launches the web management dashboard in the user's default browser.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The only alternative is the current manual process of navigating to the web dashboard / CLI.

Additional context
This enhancement would make the client far more user-friendly and self-contained.

I've recently discovered NetBird and I'm incredibly impressed with what a polished, convenient, and feature-rich program it is. I hope my feedback is helpful.

A huge thank you to the amazing development team for your fantastic work!
