Eh, that's not really anything you couldn't do with google almost as easily. I mean real multimedia. I want to pause Lord of the Rings, click on a sword, and get the passage where the sword is described in the book. I want to click on a character and get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the costume. I want it all.

Googling opens you up to spoilers.
I once confused "No Way Home" with "Far From Home" and ended up spoiling the one I hadn't seen yet. :/
That sounds like a bunch of work for very little return, not any new technology.
