Bug description
When using citations from a .bib file, the VS Code extension displays a preview on hover. With word wrap enabled, hovering anywhere on a long wrapped line triggers the preview, even when far from the citation key. I find this rather distracting, so I suggest to show the preview only when hovering directly over the citation key. Note that this is not necessarily a bug, because it could be intentional, but if so please consider this issue a suggestion rather than a bug report.
Steps to reproduce
Open test.qmd in Visual Studio Code and enable word wrap (Option + Z on macOS). Then hover anywhere over the text and the citation preview will appear.
test.qmd

title: Test
format: html
bibliography: test.bib

Actual behavior
The citation preview appear when hovering anywhere over the text.
Expected behavior
The citation preview should only appear when hovering directly over the key.
