New report page tooltip preview feature in the March update is great.
Would be nice if we had the option of adding this tooltip to visuals that previously didn't have a tooltip.
For example, I have a card visual. I'd like users to get one of these mini report pages pop-up when they hover over it but as this visual doesn't have a tooltip it can't be used.
Would be great if we can do this on other things like shapes and text boxes as well.

Since the initial release, we added support for table, matrix, and cards. https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-july-2018-feature-summary/#tableTooltips https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-september-2018-feature-summary/#tooltips I'll leave this idea open for now since there are some requests for shapes, textboxes, and buttons, but it would be helpful if people can comment on their use cases for report page tooltips on these non-visual report elements.

RE: Report page tooltip on all objects
I'd love for the Information button to be enhanced with a Page Tooltip functionality. My current workaround for this is to create a Donut chart (based on one category, with tooltip enabled and 'Inner radius' set to 0, then add a Text box with 'i' on top of it but this is not perfect because the minimum width of the textbox still takes space away where the tooltip won't respond.
RE: Report page tooltip on all objects
Being able to see tooltips on matrix row headers would be awesome for us - I have a matrix where additional details about the item in the row header would help a lot, separately to the counts in the matrix.
RE: Report page tooltip on all objects
Page Tooltips on (transparent) buttons would be useful for displaying info on top of R-Visualizations, which are not interactive otherwise.
RE: Report page tooltip on all objects
Please add tooltips on shapes.
Usage case is to allow transparent shapes to have tooltips so we could essentially have a tooltip pop-up anywhere on the report.
RE: Report page tooltip on all objects
Please add the tooltip function for buttons.
RE: Report page tooltip on all objects
Hi would love it if was able to add tooltips to Synoptic Panel by OKViz's add-in. Thank you!
RE: Report page tooltip on all objects
Please add also for shapes textboxes and buttons.
Usecase: in an infographic report I have some text, images, or custom visuals. When I hover over these objects want to be able to display detail data (another report page) about that object.
If you would be able to put a tooltip on a shape, than you can make a completely transparent object, and you can place that over anything you want.
RE: Report page tooltip on all objects
I´m with Tom Weiss on this one. To be able to hover over a button or image and then show a tooltip that is set up in the same way as other custom tooltips would be very helpful. If you could somehow pass filters through the button/image (on hover) this tooltip could be setup in a standard way by the designer of the report, so that no unnecessary tooltip pages need to be created and maintained.
RE: Report page tooltip on all objects
Would like to use on an image, e.g. company logo, or button as a standard place for users to hover over to see additional notes on report.
RE: Report page tooltip on all objects
I use report page tooltips to provide a list of all filter selections on the page and also to provide a table of base sizes for the page. Both of these can take up a lot of screen real estate, so it's better to keep them out of the way in a tooltip. Currently I have the report page tooltips tied to a card visual. However, I have to create a measure to display "Hover for selected filters" or "Hover for base sizes" to put in the card. This seems ridiculous. It would make so much more sense to be able to tie these report page tooltips to a text box instead so I don't have to create extra measures to display static text.
