Alternative to boolean show/hide using variants

I have an image that I want to hide by initially but show when a certain unrelated/attached element is hovered over (mouse enter).

This works when I setup a boolean variable (“isVisible”) and attach it to the relevant asset (right clicking the eye icon). Then setting up a variable interaction of “Target: isVisible” then if false set to true.

The image does show, so it works. But it’s an abrupt/instant jump into view. Is there any way to make this type of interaction gracefully fade into view instead?

Thanks in advance!
