If you mean the text cursor, then this is possible with an add-in. In fact, it's quite easy. Just handle TextDocumentKeyPressEvents. There's also a complete add-in example in that article.

If you mean hovering a text with the mouse pointer, there's no direct support for it in add-in. You would need to use some global mouse events handler and manually retrieve the text under the pointer. Or, I believe, VS packages have better support for such tasks.

Visual Studio 2010 addin writing articles/tutorials?

Rather than just ask how to do an entire task, ask a specific question about a problem you're having doing it. There are lots of tutorials around on how to make a VS2010 addin (or any other version). Start coding one and see where the problems end up coming from.
