Are you looking at me Senpai?

I have what I feel is a dumb question, but my google-fu fails me.

I'm doing an Excel doc that summarizes all the alerts, automated tests, and monitoring for our assets within Azure and elsewhere. We have this done in Excel 2016/O365 as a series of columns (Alert Name, Alert Description, Alert Threshold, etc.). Below these are rows, one for each alert.

What I want to do is take a series of rows and columns that describe the criteria of each alert - pardon the lack of a grid, each comma is a column separation:

GetAccessToken Step 1, API, http://www.url.test/accessKey, Return url.test/accesskey
GetAccessToken Step 2, API, http://www.url.test/applicationsessionID,confirm applicationSessionID

Is there some way that I can concatenate the entire grid of rows and columns into one single cell, keeping the way it looks or delimiting it with a hyphen or something, and make it pop out if you click on that cell?

Not easily that I know of. One possibility could be to just put the comma-delimited list like that in the cell directly, and then write some VBA to paste it into a new workbook whenever the cell is selected. Not sure how usable that would be though. What about just merging the header cells so that there's one header cell called Criteria, and below it are these values in their separate columns?

What do you mean 'make it pop out when you click on that cell'? Do you want most of the text to be hidden until you select the cell and view it? Giving us some further context will help.
