Tooltip Accessibility how to trigger?

This feels like it should be something simple but I'm running into a wall. When using the accessibility features of PBI  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-accessibi...

    Hi sasdfasdfsad ,
    Workaround for Triggering Tooltips via Click in Power BI

    To replicate a click-triggered tooltip, you can use tooltip pages in combination with buttons and bookmarks:
    Configure a Tooltip Page

    Create a new report page.

    Enable Tooltip under Page Information.

    Adjust Page Size to Tooltip.

    Design the Tooltip

    Add relevant visuals and text for your tooltip.

    Maintain a concise layout for readability.

    Set Up Click Trigger

    Insert a Button or Shape on your main page.

    Configure the Action to Bookmark.

    Create a bookmark to display the tooltip page.

    Add Tooltip Closure

    Include a Close button on the tooltip page to return to the main page.
    Enable Dynamic Filtering (Optional):

    Apply slicers or field parameters to dynamically filter the tooltip page based on the selected data point.

    Outcome:

    Clicking the button displays the tooltip page; clicking again closes it, effectively simulating the tooltip experience.
