I want to be able to link a word document to a shape in Visio. So that when I
click or hover on a shape I have the option of having a link to the document,
or to have the text itself become visible the way that a "screenTip"
appears?...is this possible?

Sure, you can hyperlink to it. If you have implemented bookmarks in the
document you can even go to them as well.
