Problem

To better support interactivity and contextual data, we should support data tooltips.

Proposed solution

Things to be done:

1. Add tooltip API tobackend_bases. This should be similar to the picker functionality, only with hover instead of click. T.b.d.: Do we want aTooltipEvent or a more generalHoverEvent?
2. Implement that API for the backends. As a first step or prove of concept one could start with one backend, e.g. Qt and add the other backends later. ipympl could/should follow at some point as well.
3. Add high-level API to support setting tooltips.
   We likely want at least:
   • explicit strings:plt.plot(x, y, tooltip=['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'])
   • data support:plt.plot('x', 'y', tooltip='label', data=data)
   • functions:plt.plot(x, y, tooltip=lambda x, y: f'({x}, {y})')
