How can I hold Twitter Bootstrap Popover open until my mouse moves into it?

Question

I have a link that uses the Twitter Bootstrap Popover version 1.3.0 to show some information. This information includes a link, but every-time I move my mouse from the link

I didn't like any of the answers I've found, so I combined some answers that were close to make the following code. It allows you to end up just typing $(selector).pinnablepopover(options); every time you want to make a 'pinnable' popover.

Code that makes things easy:

$.fn.popoverHoverShow = function ()
{
    if(this.data('state') !== 'pinned')
    {
        if(!this.data('bs.popover').$tip || (this.data('bs.popover').$tip && this.data('bs.popover').$tip.is(':hidden')))
        {
            this.popover('show');
        }
    }
};
$.fn.popoverHoverHide = function ()
{
    if (this.data('state') !== 'pinned')
    {
        var ref = this;
        this.data('bs.popover').$tip.data('timeout', setTimeout(function(){ ref.popover('hide') }, 100))
        .on('mouseenter', function(){ clearTimeout($(this).data('timeout')) })
        .on('mouseleave', function(){ $(this).data('timeout', setTimeout(function(){ ref.popover('hide') }, 100)) });
        this.on('mouseenter', function(){ clearTimeout($(this).data('timeout')) });
    }
};
$.fn.popoverClickToggle = function ()
{
    if (this.data('state') !== 'pinned')
    {
        this.data('state', 'pinned');
    }
    else
    {
        this.data('state', 'hover')
    }
};
$.fn.pinnablepopover = function (options)
{
    options.trigger = manual;
    this.popover(options)
    .on('mouseenter', function(){ $(this).popoverHoverShow() })
    .on('mouseleave', function(){ $(this).popoverHoverHide() })
    .on('click', function(){ $(this).popoverClickToggle() });
};

Example usage:

$('[data-toggle=popover]').pinnablepopover({html: true, container: 'body'});
