hi @alannemkay

i noticed you recently purchased my zLikeComment Plugin (similar to the like a comment here in vanilla)

You may want to try this out.

download this file categories.php (just rename the categories.phps to categories.php) and drop it in your theme folder

/themes/default/views/modules/categories.php

make sure my zLikeComment Plugin is enabled

find some unique way to identify it via id or class or reading the text of category in the sidepanel. Use firebug or some other web developer tool to find the html.

use jQuery to add a title tag to the anchor or modify the program that displays the category to do the same. I have never used pockets plugin but maybe it can solve your problem.

Take a look at the various tutorial sites on jQuery, php, and css.

Aolee probably has the solution but this could give you an idea of a javascript
you could run it in your console on this page for a test

If you hover over a category name after executing below in your console, it will display a tooltip
e.g. this is my tooltip for such and such category.

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('ul.PanelCategories a').each(function(){
myurl = this;
mytext = this.text;
$(this).html('<a' + ' title="' + "this is my tooltip for " + mytext + '"href="' + myurl + '">' + mytext + '</a>');
});
});
