Visualization tooltips

I have a use case that im struggling to solve.

 

We have used a lot of time to define field properties, to make crating data models easier. However, i would like to enable the consumers of reports to also see those property definitions.

 

Idea is to use the "tooltip" functionality, where when the user hovers over an attribute or fact in a visual in power bi, they are presented with the definition of the object. Do anyone know if it is possible to parse the properties to the visuals?

Hi @arndtvissing ,

I think you could create tooltip pages to display the content that you want.
