I get that you do not want the visual clutter of linking to locally defined type parameters, but would it help to give a short tooltip (i.e. `title` attribute) in this situation even if you do not also create a link. Is this an interesting idea for any place where we cannot or do not create a link?

I like this idea, and it's quite tempting to add it to this PR since I had already implemented it and it's only a few lines of code. 

I wonder if we should go the extra mile and include the element kind in the tooltip message (`type parameter in interface [name]` or `type parameter in method [name]()` instead of just `type parameter in [name]`).
