Word wrapping in string property

I realize this has already been posted (in 2012), but I don't think I understand how/if topic bumping works here, so... 

"Is this still something that's not doable inside simple string properties? I've been looking into implementing it using this word node method, but the more I look into it, the worse the end results I can think of look like. Selection in particular looks and feels terrible compared to simple string editing."

This seems to me like a very obviously needed feature for text-heavy concepts.
