Tree View - Make the pop-up window optional and explicitly dismissible #1345

Description

@e-pc

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The large instantaneous pop-up makes it extremely difficult to navigate the tree. As soon as a person's icon is hovered or clicked an enormous pop-up covers a significant area obstructing the content under it.
When viewing a dense tree, or on a smaller screens like 13-14" the pop-up is almost always present since it's very easy to move the cursor over a person.

Describe the solution you'd like

There should be a way to close the pop-up explicitly: press Escape or click on "X" button. WCAG requires that hover popups to be dismissible so they don't accidentally block the main content: https://www.wcag.com/authors/1-4-13-content-on-hover-or-focus/ . This is the exact case here.
Another solution would be to make the overlay optional. Similar to wikipedia's page previews:

Zooming out the complete webpage to 40-50% is helpful but not quite the solution.
