Can the browser feature of contrl+F to find text be integrated with text in popup windows.

I'd like to have some scientific reference information given when someone hovers over a species name in a web page. Generating the popup, tooltip style text is no problem, the problem is that anyone using Ctrl+F won't be able to find it, or if I position the text out of view when not required, it will be found but be invisible.

The same sort of effect applies to "accordion" style expanding text areas.

I'm looking for some sort of event generated when find is highlighting a result.
