Description
#### Bug, feature request, or proposal:
Feature request
#### What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?
Popovers are not part of the current material design spec, however they are a common component in desktop applications.
It got some traction last year within the [angular/material](https://github.com/angular/material) repository [here](https://github.com/angular/material/issues/1120) and [here](https://github.com/angular/material/pull/1132).
If this is still not acceptable, what are the alternatives?
I started to hack a bit on the `mdDialog`, using a custom positioning strategy and custom css for the directional arrow but I'm not sure this is the way-to-go.
Thank you in advance!
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the requested rich tooltip/popover behavior and the referenced angular/material issues. The body mentions experimenting with mdDialog, custom positioning, and CSS for a directional arrow, but names no files, tests, or acceptance criteria. Done requires an agreed component scope and implementation direction before coding can begin.
