Is there a way to make image/Table appear on hovering mouse on another image in the pdf?

Question

I am trying to make an image or a table appear on mouse hover (mouseover) over specific parts of another image like an info-graphic. Can someone tell me a package and syntax to achieve this? The constraint is that the output should be in pdf.

If there is a way easier way in any other program/format let me know too.

Complete example, using the \tooltip macro from this post (go there for further information about its usage and PDF reader compatibility):

\documentclass[12pt]{scrbook}
\usepackage{mwe} %example images
\usepackage{tikz} %for building a graph

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
% tooltips with LaTeX v. 2017/11/28
%
% \tooltip[*[*[*[*]]]][<link colour>]{<link text>}[<tip box colour>]{<tip text>}
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
%   \tooltip     --> draggable tip, visible on mouse-over, hidden on mouse-out
%               
%   \tooltip*    --> draggable tip, toggle visiblity on mouse-over
%               
%   \tooltip**   --> NON-draggable tip, visible on mouse-over, hidden on mouse-out
%              
%   \tooltip***  --> NON-draggable tip, toggle visiblity on mouse-over
