That'd be one way. Another way would be to make the images behave just
the same as in the tutorial -- link to the text file with the source
(where the relevant portion is delimited with "% begin ly-snippet" or
something like that, which would take care of the "turn-off" issue).

Also, I'm not sure some of the examples could reasonably fit into a
mouse-over bubble.
