Hey @karalicious, do you consider this problem solved or are you still having trouble? I'm planning to launch the "Spotlight" template on February 2, 2021. It's a no-coding solution to the problem. (It uses "Drag" events instead of mouse over events, because that's how it can easily be done in Hype — and most mobile devices don't even have a mouse.)
UPDATE — The template is online. Free Hype Templates 🏗
