you could try using
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/LinkCSSToolTip

with an added custom markup:

## [[target |:+:]] target with title as tooltip
Markup('[[|:+:|','<[[|+|',
  "/(?>\\[\\[([^|\\]]*)\\|:)\\s*(\\+)\\s*:\\]\\]/se",
  "Keep(ToolTipLink(\$pagename, PSS('$1'), PSS('$1'),
        PageVar(MakePageName(\$pagename,PSS('$1')),'\$Title'),''),'L')");

use like [[SCB|:+:]]

If you want the target link always to be a page in group Profiles,
so you don't need to write [[Profiles/SCB|:+:]], you could change the
markup to

## target is always in group Profiles
## [[target |:+:]] target with title as tooltip
Markup('[[|:+:|','<[[|+|',
  "/(?>\\[\\[([^|\\]]*)\\|:)\\s*(\\+)\\s*:\\]\\]/se",
  "Keep(ToolTipLink(\$pagename, PSS('Profiles.$1'), PSS('$1'),
        PageVar(MakePageName(\$pagename, PSS('Profiles.$1')),'\$Title'),''),'L')");
