Tooltip and Popover Positioning Engine in Tiddlywiki

I have read in Talk and old forum that the popup and tooltip does not work in Tiddlywki as expected. Is it possible to use a third party tool like popper: https://popper.js.org/ ?

It is only 3kB.

@atronoush I am never quite sure what is meant by a popup but a number of tiddlywiki widgets have a tooltip parameter, but when you don’t have this parameter, the simple use of the html title works.

  • eg <span title="your tooltip"> almost anything </span>

See also the https://tiddlywiki.com/#PopupMechanism where the button widget allows it to be triggered, and the reveal widget displays it.

A recent experiment on mine with the button popup shows how the state tiddlers existence is toggled with the button click, and seems to me to be a nice design method for simple toggle switches, and testing for the existence of a tiddlers title, and it’s creation and deletion (Presumably only in memory).

<$button popup="test" > button</$button>

<$list filter="[[test]has[title]]">state exists</$list>

Can you see enough here to solve your need, if not perhaps you can explain more?
