On Hover actions aren't possible.

You can create a bookmark and assign it to the On Action property of the Info Button. Similarly, create another bookmark to hide the visible window (Could be a shape)

It could be done using insert icon, insert the icon and on format button, click button text 

click the first dropdown and select on hover.  add text in button text. format it as needed

 

minimize the button text, and click on icon text and can do formating of icons too, like show blank on hover, this way on clicking you will only see the text

 

hope that helps

@Kalachuchi , where and how you have added this icon. A custom hover window is only allowed on visuals as tooltip.

@amitchandak I have added it via insert button and then choose information. are there any workaround with this? As I want my custom window to appear on hovering the information button.
