Description

Thanks for this great library! I have a little feature request..

Given the following code:

  <Tooltip placement="left" overlay={text}>
    <div style={{ background: 'blue', padding: '100px', margin: '100px' }}>
      <div style={{ background: 'white' }}>Target</div>
    </div>
  </Tooltip>

Allow positioning the tooltip to the inner div, instead of the outer one, while still activating it when the mouse enters the outer div.

Research direction

Start at the Tooltip component and trace how the outer trigger supplies the positioning target. Check the existing positioning and event-handling tests, if present, then verify that a nested element can determine placement while the outer element still activates the tooltip.
