Tooltip for rectangle

Hello everyone 

I have a report/ page with 4 rectangles.

I would like to add for each rectangle a specific tooltip. Means, when I hover a rectangle a text should be displayed.

since there are 4 rectangles how can I build this?

Do I need a excel spreadsheet with 4 texts with individual IDs and then place a hidden visual with this selected ID behind the rectangle?

or how would you build that?

Hi, @joshua1990 

Are you referring to Rectangle in Shapes?

As of now ,it doesn't support to  create  tootips for a rectangle shape.

As a workaround ,you can try to  use a  card visual to  create a custom tooltip page.

@joshua1990 You can use a textbox and place 4 card visual in each corners like below. On mouse hover text value would be displayed.

@negi007 : thanks for the tip! 
but is should be a tooltip. In the near future there will be also a chart added into the tooltip.

@joshua1990  It is possible to have a chart as a tooltip. You can create a custom tooltip in the form of chart and then use it as tooltip.
