Hi all, I love @mkfreeman’s new [Plot Tooltip](https://observablehq.com/@mkfreeman/plot-tooltip), but I was wondering if anybody had suggestions for how to include a clickable URL and/or an image within this kind of tooltip. I tried to add HTML tags in the tooltip in this notebook, but it isn’t working for me: [Is the Mountain Out? / Melanie Walsh / Observable](https://observablehq.com/@mellymeldubs/is-the-mountain-out) Thanks! ---

There are a couple of issues that need to be dealt with to make this work: - Interpreting your HTML input as HTML, as opposed to plain text and - The addition of some code so that you can actually move your mouse into the tooltip. I’ve never used Mike’s `addTooltips` function but, experimenting a little bit and looking at the code, I don’t see anything that deals with either of those issues. I guess I haven’t used `addTooltips` because I was using a library called [TippyJS](https://atomiks.github.io/tippyjs/) well before `addTooltips` was written. Here’s how to accomplish your objective using TippyJS: > **[Is the Mountain Out?](https://observablehq.com/d/629ad57ff6716d02)** > > Reworked with TippyJS Previous version Visualizing one of my favorite Twitter accounts: https://twitter.com/IsMtRainierOut ---

Hey Melanie! Thanks for reaching out, and I love the question _Is the Mountain Out_. A tricky issue with the clickable link in a tooltip is, _how do you click it_? Because it moves on hover, that’s a bit tricky… You could add an image using a [Plot Image mark](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/plot-image), though may require extra steps if the images are coming from twitter (at a glance, it wasn’t super simple given that twitter is putting the elements into a `div` asynchronously). For adding links, I _very quickly_ prototyped an `addLinks` utility, but it requires that the `title` text is the text for your hyperlink (something I’m sure could be adjusted). Here’s the [addLinks](https://observablehq.com/d/a73e64bef615b92a) notebook, and a [fork](https://observablehq.com/d/ed66568e23da98b9) of your notebook using it. Hopefully that helps you get started, let me know if you have any followup questions! ---
