The interest invokers feature

[mfreed7]

Proposal

See relevant supporting docs here:

• Add the interestfor attribute whatwg/html#11006
• https://drafts.csswg.org/css-ui-4/#interest
• https://drafts.csswg.org/selectors/#interest-pseudos
• https://open-ui.org/components/interest-invokers.explainer/

Interest invokers (see the explainer above) is a new feature that allows the easy creation of hover-triggered UI, such as a hover-triggered tooltip. The interestfor attribute can be used in a very similar manner to the commandfor attribute to link between a <button> or <a> and some content like a popover that describes it. There are corresponding CSS properties and pseudo classes (see links above) that provide additional controls.

Browser support

This is currently prototyped in Chromium browsers, behind a flag. Chrome is a proponent of this feature and is working to get it shipped soon.
