The UI needs to be changed so clicking on anything (buildings, towers, items, units) should bring up a portrait (like you get when attacking someone now) that shows information on it like it's health(dmg, armor, mana if they're allies), and for drops it'd say if they're health, aman, whatever isuppose.
BUt yeah, you can jsut try and see on em. green is health, blue scrolls mana.
