Description
Currently the link-hinting in vimium annotates the clickable links and allows to click them.
It would be great if hovering over links can be implemented. This is especially useful for hoverable dropdown menus and for hovering to preview video.
I would be willing to implement this, but am not sure if this is considered a good feature.

Research direction
Start by locating the link-hinting implementation and its event handling. Determine how hover actions should work for dropdown menus and video previews, then confirm the behavior in both cases and ensure existing link-hinting and clicking still work.
