Tooltips break some links

Sometimes Thunderbird thinks that the modified link text (with the tooltip) is showing a link, and warns the user when they click on it, asking if they want to visit the "displayed" link. This will not work, because the "displayed" link isn't actually a link, but an amalgamation of a link and whatever text was originally there.

Modify the tooltip so it ideally doesn't trigger Thunderbird or use a Javascript-based tooltip so the original DOM doesn't need to be modified (excapt for adding event handlers, of course).

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
