Popover

Popovers are small overlays that present additional content without cluttering the page.

Note that from accessibility perspective Popover is treated as a tooltip (the element has role="tooltip") which means that it shouldn't contain interactive elements (e.g, buttons, links, etc.), you can read more about tooltip specifications here. Try using ModalPopup instead if you want Popover's behaviour with interactive elements.
