With the interactive components, a variant can now have a tooltip. But unfortunately hover and clickactions are still mutual exclusive.
I’m designing for a desktop application and having a tooltip per inputelement/button is crucial.

If you are looking for workaround that does not overlap with other layers, here is something I use for a long time → Tooltips inside trigger component, or separately? - #5 by Pavlo_Kiselov

Please do it already! While you try to make tools for developers, you absolutely forget about designers!

It’s absolutely insane that you can’t use a hover and click interaction on the same element.
This has been such a long standing issue that so many people want.
Why is it not being added?

It's crazy that as of today (2025) this interaction cannot be carried out.

I have tried splitting hover and click up into two different layers. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t.
