New description:

 Currently tooltips will always follow the mouse pointer, as a result if
 there is any interactive content inside the tooltip, it is impossible to
 actually interact with the said content using the mouse.

 What the tooltip should ideally do is to stay at the position it was first
 displayed, and only disappear when the mouse pointer leaves the tooltip's
 bounding box. This is how it's done in Fusion and allows for clicking of
 any interactive content inside the tooltip.
