I want a small popup to be displayed when I hover over a link to a
certain namespace.
Note that the popup has nothing to do with the page to which it links.
So for example, I want a link to A:X and when I hover the mouse over it
I want to display B:X in a small popup (where A and B are namespaces).
Note that B:X is a short page, it should be displayed in the popup
completely (not just its announce or description).
Note also that I need the popup to be "stable" enough, so that I could
move the mouse (without the tooltip disappearing) and click a link in
the tooltip.

I am considering to write a new extension for this myself. But first I
want to consult its syntax and API.
For me personally the best mode of functionality is the following:
In LocalSettings.php write an associative array mapping of namespaces:
A=>B, etc. Then make popups for ALL links to objects in A (on every
page which links to namespace A).
However, other users may want different API and syntax, for example:
<span popup="B:X">[[A:X|X]]</span>
Please discuss with me which APIs and syntaxes should be available.
