That is a recent feature that is so far implemented only for
HTML5 canvas and svg terminals (and maybe for "set term win"?).  
It's on the wishlist for wxt and x11 but I don't know that anyone
is actively working on it.

Interesting idea. The thing is that currently "mouseover" is only
available in the context of a web browser.  The wxt and x11 
terminals do not offer any way to trigger a mouse event other than
clicking.  So it would be relatively easy to implement for svg
and canvas output, but we're missing a necessary infrastructure
to do that in a wxt window.
