asked Apr 1, 2022 in Question / help by anonymous
Some times I do not want all notes show up. I hope when I put mouse on an object for couple seconds the note for that object show up and when mouse leaving from the object, the note of it disappear.

It will save a lot of space to show real content and just show note when it is necessary.

You could add a tooltip [without a link target]  to an object like below (and use e.g svg as output format)

rectangle "Component with link which has more details" [[https://plantuml.com/link{please follow the link\n that you get more details} More details....]]
