The px tooltip widget allows you to show a px page as a tooltip. When the px page appears as a tooltip, you have full interaction of its content. This widget has multiple options such as position, style, click or hover, timing, etc. This widget works best in browser mode. Before you start, copy the .jar file to your modules directory. Restart the station and Workbench.
