Hyperlink "ScreenTip" with Graphics file?
 

Is it possible to insert an image file into the "Screentip" that is
associated with a hyperlink? When a hyperlink is created, Excel allows you
to specify what text is displayed when the mouse is positioned over the
hyperlink. However, I would like to have an image (jpg, gif, tif, bmp, etc.)
displayed when the mouse is positioned over the hyperlink (instead of text).
I have seen this done on a variety of websites. Can this be done in excel?

All I can think of is to also insert a comment in the cell.

Then Format CommentColors and LinesColorFill EffectsPicture.

When you hover over the cell the comment with picture will be visible.
