Is it possible to insert a pop-up window providing additional information for a specific word?

[Edoardo Zunino]

I am creating a descriptive text for a technical process. Some words and sentences require a more detailed explanation. Is it possible to insert a pop-up window providing additional information for a specific word? If yes how can I do it? 

Ideally, the window should be displayed if the user bring the cursor on the selected word.

Hello @Edoardo Zunino and welcome to the Community!  I've built a Glossary for our company that utilizes the type of hover / pop-up you're describing but I was only able to do so with an add-on, Brikit Theme Press for Confluence which doesn't seem to be available for Cloud.  There are other Marketplace apps you might want to take a look at:  Tooltip apps and Glossary apps.  I'm not aware of a way to do this with OOB Confluence Cloud.  HTH

@Edoardo Zunino, as @Laurie Sciutti suggested, the tooltip feature might be your solution.

You can access it using one of the marketplace apps, e.g:

- Tooltip for Confluence - app specifically for add tooltips

- Content Formatting Macros - a collection of key formatting features that includes a tooltip
