Sam,
It is possible to make the flyover contain links and be clickable. But it sounds like this would not be the best. Because the usage I am seeing here, is that you are using this to navigate to all of the uses of this variable from the outline view. So having a flyover that would disappear once you clicked on one of the uses, would not be as useful as having a view that sticks around so that you can click on the other uses of the same variable.
So I am giving up on the hover and deciding that a "find in outline view"
would be much more useful.
That is what I am going to document in enhancement 8939, Proposed Solution:
When right clicking in Lpex, show an action in the context menu "Find in outline view". Selecting this action will attempt to find a node in the outline view that contains the token at the cursor.

Thank you very much.
If I can make one comment on what you said:

Often, after I have located the variable in the outline view, I want to click on the "where" used references to jump to the code. I'm not sure how a flyover would work for this.

Hi Sam,
I have opened enhancement request 8938 to track the request for a
toolbar button to collapse the outline view. This sounds like a very
simple
thing,
so it should be low-hanging fruit for us.
I have also opened enhancment request 8939 to track the request to
make
it
easier to find the definition of a variable. I have pointed to this
thread
and mentioned some of your suggestions such as find in outline view,
or enhanced context assist.

Of course, getting around to implement this will be subject to
available resource.
I hope this helps,
