No, it's there. Can you guess how you see it? If you guessed a
preference
option, a hidden preference via the defaults system, or some other
place
that shouldn't be logical but is given the state of computering today,
you're wrong.
Instead, it's in the most logical place, but it's incredibly
finicky to
trigger. You have to hover over the link long enough, without
moving. I
think it's somewhere around 5 seconds. If you move that timer resets.
Oddly for me it's about a second, maybe slightly less. So it seems
perfectly in line with the amount of time other tool-tips take to
show up on screen. Though it doesn't show up for plain text messages
(though that kind of makes sense I suppose - the link is exactly what
it says in that case).
