At least that would be easy, but that text would be far away from the hovering 
area and thus might be easily missed. It also wouldn't solve it for mobile 
users.

We can't be the only ones with that problem. Here's one article that suggests 
an alternative:
https://uxmovement.com/mobile/how-to-display-tooltips-on-mobile-forms/

Basically, add a symbol where you want the tooltip, so that mobile users have 
something to press and everyone has an indication that there is something there 
 The same article uses a colored "?" with a circle around it (we could add that 
right after the symbol reference). We could use CSS so that the symbol is not 
displayed when printed, since it would not be useful in that case. I don't know 
how hard that would be, but it would probably not be too hard.

What do people think about that idea?
