Description

### Describe the bug:
Pop-up 'tooltip' help boxes can contain links, but the links can't be clicked because the tooltip disappears as soon as the mouse cursor leaves the boundaries of the text field.

Include the following information:
- OpenSnitch version: 1.6.9-4
- OS: Debian
- OS version: Sid
- Window Manager: KDE
- Kernel version: 7.1.4+deb14-amd64

### To Reproduce:

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Begin editing a rule
2. Enable "From this executable" by checking the box
3. Mouse-over the box to display the tooltip
4. Observe that there are links to "wiki page" and "Discussion forums"
5. Try to click one of those links and the tooltip disappears

### Expected behavior (optional):
Tooltip should not disappear until the cursor leaves the boundaries of both the text field *and* the tooltip itself.

### Screenshots:

### Additional context:
I tried using the Tab key as well, as GUI conventions often let you select the next link with the Tab key, but the next text field of the Rule window was selected instead.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the tooltip behavior while editing a rule and inspect the GUI code that creates the “From this executable” tooltip. Verify the tooltip remains visible when the pointer moves from the text field onto the tooltip, and confirm that its wiki and discussion links can be clicked before the pointer leaves both areas.
