Examples for hooking, but external triggered:

All the functions, hooked there, can be used to fill your custom tooltip.
e.g. ItemTooltip:SetLink(itemLink) or PopupTooltip:SetLink(itemLink)

Setting up controls to show tooltip:

Showing:

Code:

InitializeTooltip(<AnyTooltip>, <owner/anchor parent control>, TOPLEFT, 10, -96, TOPRIGHT)

Hiding:

Code:

ClearTooltip(<SameTooltip as above>)

Typically called in OnMouseEnter/OnMouseExit handlers:

Code:

      control:SetHandler("OnMouseEnter", function(sender) InitializeTooltip(ItemTooltip, sender, TOPRIGHT, -10, -96, TOPLEFT) 

-- Add your stuff

end )

      control:SetHandler("OnMouseExit", function(sender) ClearTooltip(ItemTooltip) end )

Be sure mouseEnabled="true" is used in XML or control:SetMouseEnabled(true) is call in Lua.
If you hide a window via key-bind, the mouse does not always exit the control. Calling ClearTooltip at the end of interaction or scene change can prevent the tooltip is hanging around on screen.

My typically helper functions:

Lua Code:

local function AddLine(tooltip, text, color, alignment)
  local r, g, b = color:UnpackRGB()
  tooltip:AddLine(text, "", r, g, b, CENTER, MODIFY_TEXT_TYPE_NONE, alignment, alignment ~= TEXT_ALIGN_LEFT)
end
 
local function AddLineCenter(tooltip, text, color)
  if not color then color = ZO_TOOLTIP_DEFAULT_COLOR end
  AddLine(tooltip, text, color, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
end
 
local function AddLineTitle(tooltip, text, color)
  if not color then color = ZO_SELECTED_TEXT end
  local r, g, b = color:UnpackRGB()
  tooltip:AddLine(text, "ZoFontHeader3", r, g, b, CENTER, MODIFY_TEXT_TYPE_UPPERCASE, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER, true)
end

Is it, what you looking for?
