Improvement to Server action help texts to allow links in help messages to be clickable

I guess this probably wont attract a lot of votes as on the face of it, it only effects those who build custom extensions however I believe the result would make life much easier for all those who use them.

We have had help texts within server action inputs since the start of Wappler but they are static and very limited in nature. This has been the subject of discussion before.

As a builder of custom extensions I often would like to link to external documentation to explain the nature of inputs.

This has become very significant for me while working on OneSignal integration where a great number of parameters are available and some are quite complex in nature.

To date i have used an additional static text input which allows the use of hyperlinks like this.

This is OK for a reference for the entire action but if needed on a field by field basis it would be much more effective to allow the help text popup to have clickable content (they already support embedded html to create links) but at present, as it in triggered by a mouse over event the link cannot be clicked.

This is what we have now

But it cannot be clicked as the popup closes on mouse out. Perhaps a click event or maybe a key press to keep it open could be added?

Here is what i mean in video format

So can these help text links be make clickable?

This would be great. I've also mentioned something similar a few times over the years, as this was one of the areas that Bubble did well. Most elements in their system had a similar hover-over and click that would take you directly to documentation for that element.
