Column Label definitions on hover.

I have a table that is new to my users of my dashboard. I would like to provide a column definition when users hover over the column header. I have built the table with the definitions and the column lables as the link. But I cannot figure out if it is possible to do this. Does anyone know how to do this?

This is a work around, but I am looking for something that will link the column header label to a list of definitions in a corresponding table, and return the defintion from the table as a tool tip on hover. 

 

In other words, I want the first hover description to contain the information from the second.

Thanks for all of your assistance.
