Information displayed in JIRA

Is there a way in JIRA to show extra information when you move your mouse cursor over certain fields? For example, can you make a pop-up appear with more details about what "Analyze/Design" means when you hover over the column titles on a Kanban board?

@bjorn.einar.nylund  It is not possible to customize the tooltip content, I'm afraid.

What problem are you trying to solve with this?

It would be nice to have a "pop-up" window to explain headlines/titles for fields and columns that you use in JIRA. For instance: What does it mean to put a User Story in DONE status. By moving the mouse cursor over the DONE headline, information could be displayed that explains the DONE status in details for JIRA users.

If you are an admin, you can add notes in admin view to the tips. There used to be a little i you would mouse over for more info. You can also create team pages/dashboards. Not sure if those are going away in May.
