Keep primefaces tooltip visible until its manually closed - jsf

Question

I wanted to create a tooltip with dynamic content on a button hover and show a data table inside it. After a little bit of googling i managed to get that working but with a small issue. I am not able to keep the tooltip visible until its manually closed and primesfaces tooltip options do not seem to have any property to achieve something like that.
Code for tooltip:
<h:panelGroup>
<h:outputLink id="lnk" value="#">
<h:outputText value="Sample Tooltip"/>
</h:outputLink>
<p:tooltip for="lnk" position="right" />
<p:dataTable var="car" value="#{preOrderController.cars}">
<p:column headerText="Id">
<h:outputText value="#{car.id}" />
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Year">
<h:outputText value="#{car.name}" />
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
</h:panelGroup>
The tooltip works fine, what I want to do is once the mouse is hovered over the button and tooltip is shown, I want to keep it visible until the user manually clicks the close button at the top right corner or somewhere else on the screen. It is not necessary that I use tooltip, if primefaces has something else that can used to get similar functionality I am open to suggestions.

Answer 1

The solution is here
<h:form>
<h:panelGrid>
<h:panelGroup>
<p:commandButton value="Hide" type="button" onclick="PF('tooltip').hide();"/>
</h:panelGroup>
<h:panelGroup>
<p:commandLink id="focus" value="link" onmouseover="PF('tooltip').show()"/>
<p:tooltip value="This is a tooltip" for="focus" hideEvent="blur" widgetVar="tooltip"/>
</h:panelGroup>
</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>

Answer 2

Try this:
<h:form onclick="PF('tooltip').hide()">
<p:commandLink id="focus" value="link" onmouseover="PF('tooltip').show()"/>
<p:tooltip value="This is a tooltip" for="focus" hideEvent="blur" widgetVar="tooltip"/>
</h:form>
Take note that you need to click inside the <h:form> in order to hide the tooltip
