Hover over a parcel for 1 second and you should get a popup. It's different than passing over a marker in OL because the handler is triggered after a pause in mouse movement vs. going over the marker. The downside is there will be a lot of calls back to the server (could be an issue on a high use app) and in the case of parcels, the number of popups could get annoying to the person looking at the map.
