Can I create a pop-up that appears when I hover over Smart Art?

I would like to be able to hover over sections of Smart Art designs and have
pop-ups appear containing additional information. If this is possible, does
anyone know how to do it?
 
Have a look at Sonia's quicktrick #16 using mouseover:
http://www.soniacoleman.com/Tutorials/PowerPoint/quicktricks.htm

A slight different though, since you can't add hyperlinks onto smartart, you
will need to add a transparent shape (set to no fill, no line) on top of the
smart art. Then, follow the screentip trick as stated on the site.

Thanks, Shawn. This worked, but only if I am saving the file for the web. I
couldn't seem to make it work for normal viewing--at least in 2007 PPTx. I
appreciate your taking the time to help me.

It will work on PowerPoint 2007.

Here's a slight change which should solve the problem. Instead of setting it
to no fill, set the shape to any color, then set it to 99% transparency.

Also, don't forget to hyperlink to the current slide.
