I don’t think that’s right, you can listen to an event that is triggered when the mouse position changes. See [https://makie.juliaplots.org/stable/interaction.html#Mouse-Interaction](https://makie.juliaplots.org/stable/interaction.html#Mouse-Interaction)

These examples might also help you get started: [http://juliaplots.org/MakieReferenceImages/gallery/mouse\_picking/index.html](http://juliaplots.org/MakieReferenceImages/gallery/mouse_picking/index.html)
