Here is a simple example:

<StackPanel>
    <Button x:Name="btn" Content="Button"/>
    <Popup AllowsTransparency="True" Placement="Mouse" IsOpen="{Binding Path=IsMouseOver, ElementName=btn, Mode=OneWay}">
        <Border Background="DarkGray">
            <TextBlock Text="Popup"/>
        </Border>
    </Popup>
</StackPanel>

This will open popup when mouse is over the button and close it, when its not. However if you need that kind of behavior you should consider using a tooltip instead.
