Adding a Beta Feature to the Cite extension is fine.
Note that there was
(dormant) code in that repo to do exactly this for years, never enabled.

Hi everyone,
I've come up with a rough OOjs-UI-based rewrite of the long-standing
Reference Tooltips <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reference_Tooltips>
gadget.
I'd like to see it enabled on Wikimedia sites as a beta feature, to
ultimately replace the gadget, but I'm not sure it is worth an extension on
its own.
It could share some code with the Popups extension <
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Popups> but, unlike the latter,
the former does not depend on neither TextExtracts nor PageImages.
The Cite extension <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite> is
required for references to work, so the tooltips could just be an
additional feature. However, I don't feel comfortable with embedding such
an experiment into a cornerstone of ours like Cite.
VectorBeta <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VectorBeta> includes
many features of this kind, but reference tooltips are really not
Vector-specific.
Which do you think is the most suitable repository?
