Are you thinking of 2d or 3d instruments? I've thought about looking into pop-up dialogues for 2d instruments and animating 3d instruments into a more readable position but both of these would require triggering events. If it were possible to change the mouse cursor as it passed over a hot-spot it could also trigger the pop-ups or animations. Haven't actually tried anything yet, of course...
