My product displays search results in a table format, like below:

The column headers in that table are the names of the fields on the returned objects. This is a dynamic list: The displayed columns and the order they’re displayed in can change depending on which records are returned.

I would like to display a tooltip when a user hovers the name of a column in that table, and for the tooltip to be populated with the description of that field (that is stored as metadata). Because the fields themselves aren’t static, I want the tooltip to figure out which field each column maps to when a user hovers their pointer on it and then to retrieve the right description for that field.

Is this even possible, and if so how can we do it?
