And it should not be difficult, since the function already exists.

Yes, that is how it was build.

For a terminal this will need to work differently. We don't have a
mouse hover event, and it might be tricky to make it work well. But the
balloon could also be triggered in other ways, e.g. a right mouse button
click. Or something on an autocommand.
Anyway, adding the function to show a balloon in the GUI should be easy,
doing this in the terminal is a bit of a challange.
