There is a setting in Okular for enabling showing a preview tooltip of hyperlinks when one hovers the mouse over them ("Show hints and info messages"). This however works only in "browse tool" and not in "text selection tool". Would be nice if it would also work when one is using "text selection tool".
Incidentally, that setting doesn't actually work. I have posted a fix at https://phabricator.kde.org/D15027 .
Okay, the setting does work, but it is not supposed to control the tool tips. A patch for showing the tooltips in "text selection" mode (and others) is at https://phabricator.kde.org/D15123
Git commit 81ac73fcf5ce37fd424742c2de218f5753345b28 by Oliver Sander. Committed on 29/08/2018 at 11:32. Pushed by sander into branch 'master'. Show tooltips when hovering over links in mouse selection modes as well. Previously, these tooltips were only shown in "Browse mode". This patch adds them for "Selection", "Text selection", and "Trim selection" as well. These are the modes where the cursor changes to a hand when hovering over a link.
