Allow Hover AND Click together

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.

I’ve spent hours building detailed prototypes only to hit a wall because this basic functionality is not supported. It undermines my work and makes my prototypes feel almost embarrassing. Given the complaints in this thread and 0 meaningful feedback from Figma, exploring alternatives might actually be less time consuming and cheaper than relying on these “workarounds”.

Why is this still not working in 2026

C’mon Figma!
This can’t be it

You can easily add a hover tooltip with variants of a button component and then add a click interaction to an instance of the button. See here:
If you want different tooltips, you need to create a new component for each button (the easy way)

Hey, ​@djv would you be able to say if the Figma team will work on this topic anytime soon? 
Using workarounds with conditions and variables is really painfull.
