Steps to reproduce

Related to matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#8517 (I love this feature).

  1. Hover over a room topic and a tooltip appears informing the user that clicking will open the topic in a larger view.
  2. The same tooltip also shows when hovering over a link in the topic however. In this case, the tooltip is wrong, as clicking will take the user to the link.

Outcome

What did you expect?

A tooltip not to appear when the user is hovering over a link, or perhaps for the tooltip to open the link. I wondered whether the topic dialog would open anyways, according to the tooltip, instead of opening the URL.

My preference for a solution to this as a user is simply just for the tooltip to disappear, rather than requiring one to open the topic dialog in order to click topic links.

What happened instead?

The tooltip is always shown, even when hovering over links.
