Tippy not show where delete child of reference element

[piszczu4]

Hi, I have the following code to handle annotations on my website:

   let annotations = document.querySelectorAll('[data-type="annotation"]');
    for (let i = 0; i < annotations.length; i++) {
      let annotation = annotations[i];
      let content = annotation.querySelector('[data-type="annotation-content"');
      // content?.classList.remove('hidden');
      let html = (content?.cloneNode(true) as HTMLElement).innerHTML;
      content?.remove();
      tippy([annotation], {
        content: html,
        trigger: 'click',
        allowHTML: true,
      });
    }

Unfortunately it doesn't work when I click on the element. It only works when I comment out content?.remove();. What is the reason?
