Add an information box that is displayed only when the linked visualization is clicked

Hello everyone,
I apologize for my bad english. 
It is possible in Power Bi to create an information box, related to a visualization, that is showed only when a user clicks on a "information button" or when his mouse is in that visualization?
Best regards,
Marco.

My way to make "information box" is to:

1. Create a blank button

2. Turn of button's background and outline (to make it invisible)

3. Turn on the "Action" and set Type to "Web URL", in Tooltip field provide your text

4. Stack button on top of visual (for example on the visual's title), so when user hover the mouse over the title, he will see your text

 

I hope It helps

Check out Tooltips. Most visuals have it in their fields area.

I know it, but i don't want to show data or fields but only a text.
Is it possible in some way?

@Anonymous,

 

You may also take advantage of Title in the Format pane. If that doesn't help, try to create a custom visual with the Developer Tools.
