[pmwiki-users] Tooltips

[Petko Yotov]

In 2.5.0, it should be possible to use this markup to set the link 
tooltip to the page title:

   [[Page name"+"|link text]]

It should also be possible to set a default tooltip if not defined in 
the link markup with something like this:

   $LinkPageTooltip = '+'; // page title -or-
   $LinkPageTooltip = '{$Title}'; // page title
   $LinkPageTooltip = '{$Description}'; // (:description:) PageVar

Using properties that are stored in individual per-page disk files like 
title, description, or a page text variable, requires to open the 
individual files. This is the same with [[Link|+]].

On pages with many links like Site.AllRecentChanges, there may be a 
noticeable delay loading the page.
