Toggletip
Carbon's Toggletip, re-implemented on Radix Popover. Like Tooltip but click- or focus-triggered, persistent (doesn't close on pointer-leave), and may hold rich content (icons, links, code).

When to use
- Hint copy that needs to stay open while the user reads (longer than a tooltip).
- Help content that contains a link, code snippet, or inline action.
- Pointer-stable hints — Tooltip auto-dismisses on pointer-leave, which is unfriendly for users on touch input or dwelling to read.
- Form-field help when the explanation is too long for
helper-text.
When not to use
- Short plain-text hints (≤ 1 sentence) → use `Tooltip`. It's lighter and auto-dismisses.
- A real menu of actions → use `DropdownMenu`.
- A primary-action confirm flow → use `AlertDialog`.
