Hyperlink blocking images

When viewing Mail on my MacBook Pro, if my cursor rolls over an image within the message, a grey box pops up displaying a large blocks of HTML code. This usually obscures reading parts of the message.

stop hyperlink text popup in mail I saw a previous discussion about this here but there seemed to be no resolution. As I'm scrolling through an email on Apple Mail, if I mouse over an image or bit of text that has a hyperlink, It automatically pops up a grey block of text displaying the hyperlink text. In an email with large pictures, and long hyperlinks, any time I stop scrolling or move the mouse, a big grey block of text pops up blocking my view of the photo and/or rest of the email. It automatically shows up without me clicking, long-pressing or anything. If the cursor comes to rest on an image with a hyperlink, it just pops up this grey box, blocking everything behind it until I move the cursor out of the way. I have to scroll down the email, then move my cursor off the email so it doesn't display the block of text, then move the cursor back so I can continue to scroll. How do I turn this off? I see no reason why the average user needs to see the text of the hyperlink pop up blocking everything underneath it by default. It's really annoying. I have a 13" MacBook Pro, Intel from 2020 running Sonoma. It happens when using trackpad or mouse. This also happened on my work Mac Pro, and work MacBook Pro M1. Please help me, I have no desire to see the hyperlink text block my view of my emails.

Hovering over Apple Mail link displays entire Url, blocking much of the rest of the text When hovering over the preview window in emails the cursor displays the underlying URL, which hides the email content and is frustrating. Is there a way to stop the URL displaying on OS Monterey?

You are lucky as others are frequently complaining Images do not load at all in Mail.
