I can offer examples of the effect you describe, though the content and context
are slightly different:
http://dazzle.village.virginia.edu:1778/dynaweb/meyer/boeotia/@Generic__Book
View
pick an inscription in the left frame, then mouse over the red text in the
right frame)
http://dazzle.village.virginia.edu:1321/dynaweb/dante/inferno/@Generic__Book
View
pick a canto in the left frame, then mouse over an asterisk in the right frame)
In both cases, you also get a second, different result if you click on the
red text or
asterisk. Both are done with Javascript: taking an example from Boetia, the
javascript and markup in the document looks like this:

Dear Miran, you can find something close to your description on
Digital Variants. If you go to http://www.ed.ac.uk/~esit04/frame.htm
you'll see a manuscript linked to a bottom frame (sorry, explanations are in
Italian!). The manuscript is draft "A1" out of 8 [A-H] passages of
Francesca Sanvitale's short story "Orient-Express". If you scroll the
manuscript
all down to the right side, you'll notice a large handwritten note; a
frame pops out providing a diplomatic transcription of
Sanvitale's handwritten note. I don't think that it would be a problem to
have an
image instead of a text inside the frame.
There are other similar Java scripts on
the site, but you'll need to know a little Spanish or
Italian...
Hope this helps
Bests
Domenico
