How to add actions to the text hover popup in a TextEditor [message #660640]

Hi, I'm extending Eclipse using the Eclipse plug-in infrastructure, and I've come into a problem:

Under the Java editor of Eclipse, when you fly over a variable. a popup appears showing the origin of the variable. pressing F2 gives focus to the popup and pressing F3 move the cursor on the variable declaration.

I would apply the same thing to my editor!

So, I created an class (in my SourceViewerConfiguration) witch

implements ITextHover

Then I expanded the methods:

getHoverRegion(...)

and

getHoverInfo(...)

While executing, pressing F2 gives nicely focus to the popup . But I would like to do more and add Actions in that popup: "open declaration" for example?

How can i contribuate to the Hover Popup?

Thank's in advance.
Best Regards.
