WP already has software that will do the mouseover popup. It's one feature of navigation popups. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:POPUPS
They could strip out just the image functionalities fairly easily.
Currently popups on en.wp can't (or just don't) display images that are hosted on Commons. It instead reads "imagepage preview failed :( is the query.php extension installed?"
That should be changed for regular popups as well as for a new version that has image information. Most of the images in articles are on Commons (other than band articles etc. where they are primarily non-free album covers or other non-free images) and it's a bother when the popups don't work :(
