Glossary Entry variation on link page would look like:

This is not a variation of a link, it's a variation of the tooltip. Since a tooltip can be triggered by anything. Otherwise by this logic, you could have modals as a variation of links because they can be triggered by links :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Now the real question is, Glossary probably needs to be supported on a website other than just a tooltip. Either a content-editor maintains a glossary on Drupal, or on a data-file (which I prefer because more independent). Then tooltips are displayed where the glossary term pops up, but there should be also a page that lists all the terms together.

But if this is the case, I will have to work on such a system - easy to do, but maybe we need to share the ideas with David first?

Yeah I have it as a variation on both links and tooltips but I agree, tooltips makes more sense. IDK why I shared this mockup over the tooltip one.

I know almost nothing about how our current glossary works. Are you saying you would need to build an additional content-editor or data-file to support the current glossary in order to make something like this work? Or would those things replace the current glossary?

Not sure what current glossary you are referring to, but it's probably wrong! LOL Yes, I'm referring to having to build a new system that is Drupal independent, so it can be easily managed, and used on all the sites... This is a high-level idea, I would have to think about how exactly implementing it :)

Probably other than the way it's displayed, beyond the scope of the Design Syst.... We can talk about it next week

Sounds good!
