I find this to be a nice module providing good value at my site. However, I would also like to add a tooltip to the link when the user hovers the link. I guess that should be achievable, but beeing a newbie in Drupal I haven't been able to figure out how to add this by myself.
Steps to reproduce
Proposed resolution
The result could produce a html like this:
<a href="www.google.com" title="this is a link to google">Google tooltip</a>
Other more relevant ways might exist for all I know.
Remaining tasks
User interface changes
I guess that the user might input the value to be shown in the same manner as how the "Link text" is established today with the possibility to use tokens to insert text from any field connected to for instance the media to be linked to.
API changes
Data model changes

danflanagan8Hi oasweb,
Thanks for putting in the nice issue. I think this is a good idea. Here's a patch that adds a new config field to the field formatter where you can specify a title attribute for the link. Tokens are supported so you can go wild with those.
I've added test coverage, but it would be great if you would confirm that the patch works for you before I cut a new release.

oaswebThanks danflanagan8!
This works as a charm, exactly as I had imagined :)
One comment though, if the token returns an empty string, the placeholder is output instead. (Don't know if this is common practice?)
For the more important settings, they appear in a short form at the overview at the "admin display" page. I'm not sure if this one qualifies to be shown as well?

danflanagan8Very nice catches! Here's a new patch that clears the tooltip tokens correctly and adds better formatter summary text in the UI. There's a new test for clearing tokens so that this bug never comes back.

oaswebExcellent! Then I have had time to test this as well, and I thinks this works very well :) Thank you!
