There is currently a tooltip option for buttons, which is very helpful, but there are two limitations I would love to see overcome. The first is that the tooltip toggle is hidden inside the Action object in the format pane. This effectively means that shapes with no action cannot have a tooltip, which makes sense for a lot of cases, but not all, so I would like to see the tooltip object bought out as an independent option. However, this is easily hacked by using a bookmark action with the bookmark set to None.
The second (and the main one for this post) is to apply the ability to use report pages as tooltips to buttons / shapes. Currently, there is only a text option. I realize that the main use for these is drill-throughs on data in a visual, and that there is no data in a button, but there are a lot of circumstances where global filter context is fine. The main application I'm thinking of is interactive help buttons. Currently, I need the user to click the help button and then click again to close the help dialog. It would be easier for the user if I could tie this interaction to a hover event (like a tooltip) instead of a click event. It would also reduce the work required to create help dialogs, since my current method requires creating two bookmarks and fiddling with the selection pane--not a ton of work, but it definitely smells like busywork with all the options that need to be configured to get it working correctly.
