I know that; eu-readelf or readelf, in any case I'll have to do the same
juggling to find the library name.

It seriously beats me! You are ready to add a completely new option(ie.
more code, more complexities, will take more time and more of everything
else), but can not accept a patch, that is insanely small and neat and
serves the purpose.

GUI doesn't help. I just want three columns of text output symbol name,
their version and library name.
