Feature Request - The compat ice:panelTooltip component had the capability for a user to interact with the contents of the tooltip. This allowed them to select text, click links, etc. The panelTooltip would be displayed on hover and if the user was still in the tooltip are the tooltip would stay displayed.

With the current ace:tooltip, even if the user is over the tooltip contents it will still be cleared from the page since it is following the hideDelay value. This can be increased to have the tooltip display longer but there is no way to tell how long a user will need that data. Its also possible to change the hideEvent to click instead of mouseout, but this again is not ideal as it requires a mouse click to do so.

The suggested improvement is to have it so that the ace:tooltip will not close if the mouse is over the tooltip itself. That way, the user can interact with controls inside the tooltip, and once they leave the tooltip area, the hideEvent can be triggered normally.
