See JComponent.setToolTipText(String). The tool-tip supports HTML to some extent, but not to the extent of providing the functionality of the links at the bottom of the SO tag pop-ups.

To do that, you'd need to swap the tool-tip for a JWindow/JEditorPane where you'd need to 'wire it together' yourself. Here is an example that uses a JWindow (to display BufferedImage instances).

Icon normalIcon = new ImageIcon("normal-icon.png"); // Icon for normal situations
JButton button = new JButton(); // initialize the button
button.setIcon(normalIcon); // set the normal situation icon

Icon rollOverIcon = new ImageIcon("roll-over.png"); // Icon for roll over (hovering effect)
button.setRolloverIcon(rollOverIcon); // Set the icon attaching with the roll-over event
