Hey @Adam_Szalai,
Regarding your inquiry about an implementation for non-auto-closing popup dialogs, I’m not aware of any. If you know of any addons that achieve this, please let me know.
I recall mentioning recently that I was unaware of a method to create hover windows, but I’ve come across something that might meet your needs: the bl_ui_widgets module.

This is a module that extends the capabilities of blf. It seems like a viable option for developing the functionality you’re looking for. There’s also a tutorial on YouTube; I recommend searching for it for more insights.
However, it’s worth noting that this library hasn’t been maintained for a while, so you might end up using a fork, such as one by mmmrqs.
I don’t have any firsthand experience with this library, but I thought it was important to let you know that your goal might not be entirely out of reach.
