Now there is JetBrains plugin named GitToolBox.

It has some similar functionality, including the current line "blame annotation" at the end of the line with detailed commit information:

(22-Aug-2022 updated) The hints from git blame are also available in the latest IntelliJ IDEA.

There is no such plugin (yet).

You can of course right click the left gutter (gray editor to the left of the editor) and select "Annotate". That gives you at least the last edit per line.

More similar to your desired feature (but unfortunately not inline): Select some text (e.g. a method), then right-click Git -> Show History for Selection.
