Makie hover tooltips in static offline html export

Is it possible to have hover-labels in static exported HTML’s?
I would like to have the behavior of DataInspector(fig) in an offline html file.
This feature does not seem to translate over to html.

Not currently, no. This logic is implemented in Julia and would need to be translated to Javascript somehow to be accessible in a standalone html plot. This is an advantage of other software that is written in Javascript to begin with.

Thank for your response. I like the other features of Makie, do you know when this might become available? What other software would allow this?

I don’t know how much work it would be. I know that people are interested in features like that for WGLMakie, but it’s not a web-first design, so I imagine it will take a lot of effort to transfer Julia features over to the javascript side.
