Better solution (for me) changing the opacity property on hover via a custom style instead of component events (and thus no need for parent containers). **Bonus: hover actions are visible in designer (preview mode).** Examples attached.

> base style:  
> opacity: 0,
> 
> element state [hover]:  
> opacity: 0.90

Wish I could add `position: absolute` (for positioning on top of other flex-container objects) to the custom style instead of manually to the tooltip component style, but I guess there's a reason it's not available in the style properties GUI.
