Display tag descriptions and short bios in a popup? #1696
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem?
With the new CMS and the new search layout, we've lost tag descriptions and authors' bios.
Describe the solution you'd like
In tag and people lists, both in the search sidebar https://campus.dariah.eu/search?tags%5B0%5D=data-visualisation and in the sidebar for individual resources (https://campus.dariah.eu/resources/events/international-workshop-and-training-camp-on-digital-integrated-strategies-to-safeguard-heritage-construction-technologies), we could show tag description and the authors bio (if there is one) in a nice tooltip on mouseover.
Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context
What I'm proposing above is a bit of a hack. EDIT: I'm not actually happy with author's bios in a tooltip. Should we think about displaying authors' bios (if they exist) in the sidebar below all the metadata, cite-as widgets etc. That is probably a better solution than a tooltip!
In the old website, we had dedicate tag and people pages. We had a very nice tag overview page: https://dariah-campus-original.vercel.app/tags/page/1, and then for each individual tag you would get a dedicated page with the tag name and description: https://dariah-campus-original.vercel.app/tag/automatic-text-recognition/page/1.
The same goes for people pages. We were not consistent in requiring bios, but those who had bios would get pages like this: https://campus.dariah.eu/search?people%5B0%5D=ros-salvador. If there was no bio, we would get the author's name and a pic.
It's a shame we've lost that. Could we reinstate that functionality? I'm concerned how it would interact with our facetting sidebar though. The core of the problem is that our current set up is search-centric and not as conducive to browsing.
So, before you implement the tooltips on mouseover, let me know what you think about these "lost" features and whether we could reinstate them.
