--- Comment #6 from Philip <philip1731 at protonmail.ch> ---
I recently switched from GNOME to KDE. While I now prefer the latter because of
its ability to be configured to a greater extent, I was quite surprised to find
out that Okular does not have a PDF link preview tooltip/popover like GNOME's
Evince.

As mentioned already by Nicolas, a link preview is very convenient to see an
entry in the bibliography without navigating back and forth or having multiple
windows open. And it also would enable user to have a quick glance at an
equation or figure that appears on a different page.

I find Evince's link preview well done. If implemented in Okular, perhaps the
preview popover's size could be made configurable.

Here is a discussion of the functionality at GNOME's Gitlab, and a screenshot
of the link preview popover in action:
