Help text on hover in lovelace

I have some controls who’s names are rather long and even when left as is, don’t explain what they do much less when they are abbreviated. For example on a thermostat the entity “shop thermostat max heat temperature setting” sort of explains what it does, but needs further explanation.

I would like the ability to have help text displayed if you hover over a control for a few seconds.

It would be an optional field but could help remind me that the max heat temperature and the min cool temperature work together with the automatic switch setting to automatically set the mode on the thermostat.

I don’t have a solution, but I do have a hacky workaround.

You can use the confirmation text to input anything you like when clicking/double clicking/holding on a card.
That way you get a popup with whatever description you like, plus the option to proceed or cancel.
