I am using python library PYMUPDF to add text boxes on to the pdf(when i hover over the object, the text should be displayed), however these are being displayed as comments on Adobe, i do not want them to be displayed as comments.
to overcome this, i tried creating dummy link annotations, so that the text is not displayed in comments. also used js mouse enter/mouse click action text boxes. however, the mouse click action does not seem as feasible, since the warning box's size that is displayed on clicking is not editable, and the hover option does not work(need to click on the object for text to be displayed).
My question: How can I add annotations/text boxes with the hover feature without it showing up as comments???

You can use button fields with a tooltip (userName, in technical terms).
