make tooltip visible by default / add tooltip signifier

[JacobBeaudry]

Is there any way to setup tooltips (e.g. on line-series) so that the tooltip for one datum would be visible by default?

I'm creating graphs programmatically, so find it's next-to-impossible to specify the datum for labels in such a way that they are always placed somewhere sensible, so tooltips seem like the best option for labelling, in my case; however, I'd like there to be some indication to the end-user that the tooltips are there (v.i. for example); is there any way to do this?

e.g.

• specify the "display-datum" at which the tooltip is displayed if the user is not mousing over the graph;
• snap to tooltip corresponding to mouse position, when user is mousing over the graph;
• when user is no longer mousing over, either:
  • remain at last location, or
  • return to "display-datum"

Hi @RaxAdaam 👋 are you using the high-level @visx/xychart package, or the low-level packages for charts?
