How to create links with both alt text for a hover bubble and simple link text

I create a link in a cell with two components, the URL and some text. Thus I create a clickable link that jumps to the URL, perfect. Now what I need for my client is the following:

a cell with some text that reads "SKUs" and when they hover over that with a mouse, the hover bubble shows off all the text representing 1 or more SKUs.

The problem I have is Monday API seems to only support the link concepts of URL and some text to display. I see no way to add an ALT TAG full of the SKUs themselves. The idea is, the client can hover over the link (with an URL set to ‘#’ so it goes nowhere) but the hover bubble would quickly show off all the SKUs associated with the item row.

Looking for a way to accomplish this and open to any suggestions. Please! I do not want to litter a cell with all the SKUs but if a link and hover is impossible, I suppose this is what I will have to do.

Hello there @dlazar,

What you describe can not be achieved via API with a link column.

If I understand correctly, you want to add multiple SKUs inside a cell so that when a user hovers, they see all of them. What about a long text column?

I did indeed switch to Long Text. It is less than ideal considering a how simple it would be mimic an HTML link. It is bizarre that Monday does not do the simple thing!

<a href="#" alt="SKU1, SKU2, SK3">SKUs</a>

That is as simple as an anchor can be for my purposes, yet Monday does not do it!
