To allow hovering over individual words, you can use this code:

import QtQuick
import QtQuick.Controls

ApplicationWindow {
    title: qsTr("Hello World")
    width: 640
    height: 480
    visible: true

    HoverHandler {
        id: hoverHandler
        onHoveredChanged: {
            if (hovered)
                toolTip.hide()
        }
    }

    Label {
        id: label
        anchors.fill: parent
        text: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud <a href=\"Definition goes here\">exercitation</a> ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu <a href=\"Definition goes here\">fugiat</a> nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum."
        wrapMode: Label.Wrap

        onLinkHovered: (link) => {
            if (link.length === 0)
                return

            // Show the ToolTip at the mouse cursor, plus some margins so the mouse doesn't get in the way.
            toolTip.x = hoverHandler.point.position.x   8
            toolTip.y = hoverHandler.point.position.y   8
            toolTip.show(link)
        }
    }

    ToolTip {
        id: toolTip
    }
}
