Description

It'd be nice to make the tooltip stay when hovering over it, and to disappear when the mouse leaves, similar to linter-ui-default or with atom-ide tooltips.

Then we can make the text selectable (which is super useful for copying type identifiers, etc). We could also make type identifiers clickable to take us to the definitions.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the tooltip implementation in atom typescript, specifically how tooltips are shown and hidden. Look for event handlers that control tooltip visibility and text selection. Consider making the tooltip persist on hover and enabling text selection by adjusting CSS or component logic.
