Learn how to use the TextMesh Pro Link Tag to detect if you hover over certain words in text box! We will reuse a few scripts from the previous tutorial and learn how to show a tooltip at the positions your player hovers over. Since we're going to use events, you can use this way of detection for your own systems, too!
