[Add-on suggestion] It'd be useful if Anki had a formatting functionality to create tooltips

You don’t really need any add-ons for this. I’m using tippy.js - a JavaScript tooltip library - for my template:

This example is part of an etymology search I implemented for medicine (similar to the Amboss add-on).

I also wrote a script that converts strikethrough text (a style I would never use in my cards) into tooltips. So it’s really easy to crate them with default Anki formatting:

Input

  1. Auf eine Notiz rechtsklicken und “Notiztyp wechseln”. = Change Note Type

Output

ezgif.com-gif-maker

Maybe I’ll crate a guide on how to include such libraries in your templates sometime soon. I’m currently abroad, so I can’t do much from my phone.
