Does the new PDF reader include "Hover over link to preview" feature?

So that when you hover over a link (bibliography reference, footnote, etc...), a small popup appears and you can directly read the content. Also, if you hover over a link in the popup, another popup would appear, etc...

For papers including lots of hyperlinks, it would be such a time saver.

Here is what I mean :

    It doesn't. But you can click the link and then hit cmd-[ to jump back to where you were, which is just about as good.

    Thanks for your reply @fredcallaway.

    Unfortunately, having to constantly go back and forth between a document and bibliography references or footnotes is not frictionless, especially for scientific papers or technical documentation, for which Zotero is meant to be.

    I just wanted to share a marvelous PDF reader I was just advised : Sioyek (https://sioyek.info/). This jewel seems to bring an answer to all these very questions, and much more, it's absolutely amazing. I am astonished that Acrobat Reader didn't implement all of this years ago. Right now, I can't think of a better combo than Zotero + Sioyek.

    I would love to see this feature in Zotero.

    Note that we recently added a split view to the PDF reader, which can be used to keep references or footnotes open while reading the PDF.
