I want to show the tool tip for a QLabel , but i want to make the QLabel as hyperlink and when the link is pressed i want to pop the tool tip , Is there a way we can do this ?

@ManiRon
subclass QLabel, hijack the MousePressEvent and inside it call the static QToolTip::showText function

@J.Hilk can you provide any sample please

@ManiRon

Create a new class that subclasses QLabel, then set it into a layout on your MainWindow
OR
you follow this to set a dummy widget (QLabel in your case) in Qt Designer where you want to have your custom label. Then promote it to your customLabel-class
