Feature Request: Tooltips on Hover Dates/Bars on Textual-Plotext

[ADevAJ]

Really enjoying using textual-plotext! It opens up a whole new dimension for textual applications.

Would love to see textual's Tooltips functionality extended to textual-plotext.

Where mouse hovering over a specific bar / datetime / candlestick / within the PlotextPlot
can triggers a callback to format a tooltip at the cursor location.

== Textual as a Plotly / Dash replacement ?

It's a nice idea but we don't have any plans like this for this library, at least not at the moment. We do have a rich set of plots that we'd likely add such functionality to on our roadmap, but I think we envisage that more as something that we'd build from the ground up. This library is more aimed at making it easy and straightforward to embed Plotext plots in a Textual application.

How much do you think would be involved in adding this feature to Textual-Plotext ?

Would you be open to the possibility of accepting a PR for this purpose if I am willing take on the workload? I have some time over the holidays and think this could be a good project for me.

My concern would be that, even if done, it would potentially be problematic to maintain, given it would likely need a lot of downstream hacking into the upstream internals.

I sense this is work better left for a Textual-first plotting library. Unless, that is, you can see a method of doing this that wouldn't be overly-vulnerable to upstream changes?
