I tried using the example given in the Prime Faces guide but I can't find the way to actually add the link inside the tooltip, besides how can I hideDelay it?
Lets start with this:
<h:outputLink id="lnk" value="#">
<h:outputText value="PrimeFaces Home" />
</h:outputLink>
<p:tooltip for="lnk">
<h:outputText value="Visit PrimeFaces Home" />
</p:tooltip>
Uhhmmmm there only is a link outside the tooltip in your code. There is no link inside it.
<h:outputLink id="lnk" value="#">
<h:outputText value="PrimeFaces Home" />
</h:outputLink>
<p:tooltip for="lnk">
<h:outputLink id="lnk" value="http://www.primefaces.org">
<h:outputText value="Visit PrimeFaces Home" />
<h:outputLink>
</p:tooltip>
Works
