[Framers] Glossary popups FrameMaker 12 to Responsive HTML

Hi all -

I'm using FrameMaker 12 unstructured.

In a document that will be published as Responsive HTML, I need the user to be able to point (or click) at part of a screenshot and a popup opens, explaining that feature.

I've tried using the marker types Glossary and GlossaryTerm, and they work fine as long as both are in text. But when I create a text frame on top of the screenshot in the anchored frame and put the marker in the text frame, it's a no-go.

I'm guessing it works when both are in the text because they're in the same flow (A:). But FrameMaker won't let me tag the text frame on the screenshot A and if I create a text frame outside the anchored frame and tag it A, FrameMaker won't let me drag it into the frame.

So long story short, is there a way to get this work? Should I use something other than Glossary markers? I've noticed that the Popup marker type is available but appears to do nothing and is no longer mentioned in FrameMaker Help.
