If you are looking for something like a tooltip, you can add a title
attribute to any HTML anchor like so
<a href="mypage.htm" title="Here is some text to describe it">mypage.htm</a>
Opening a true pop-up window is problematic because a lot of users now have
pop-up blockers. It is also difficult to control a pop-up window and a lot
of users will also receive an error when the pop-up is closed
programatically. Best bet is to try the title attribute of the link, though
right now I think this only works with IE>
Hope this helps,

I use the method Mark describes a lot and it works well in IE. It seems to
work in Netscape too, but bear in mind that Netscape will truncate the text
if it is very long.
If this is for an image that is not linked to anything, you can use the
"alt-text" (look under picture properties).
If these solutions aren't enough for you, then there are some scripts here..
