My use case is that I wish to show a popup link editor when mouse is hovering over a link, much like a tooltip. Couldn’t figure it out how to do it. Do I need to implement a custom link NodeView?

No, you should be able to listen to `mouseover` and `mouseout` DOM events (via the `handleDOMEvents` prop).
