Yes we can add a feature like that. Key point is to display the information in a visually pleasing style. The extension adds a small question mark at every link, which gets too cluttered in hover modals. We can try to make it more simpler and effective!
Logic to implement this feature : We have to extract the first paragraph of a wiki page as done by the above extension. But this will not work for Wikia.com pages. Suggest some alternative
Possible workaround for Wikia.com : upon further investigation of their source, it seems that they have meta property="og:description"
tag, which has a short description on the page. We can display that
Currently implementing "Popup on hover" only for wikipedia because of the above issue. The meta property="og:description"
tag contains too little information to show, so not going to explore that
There's another Chrome extension, Wikipedia Quick Hints, that lets users preview the opening paragraph of an article simply by hovering over the link. We should consider adding a feature like that. Seems quite handy to me.
