Advanced tooltip is a graphical user interface (GUI) element used in conjunction with the cursor or mouse pointer to display information about an item without needing to click on it.

The typical scenario for summoning an advanced tooltip is to hover the mouse cursor over another GUI element such as a tool icon in a software application, and it is also prevalently used on websites. A tooltip is also known as a hint, infotip, or screentip.
