Hey hey,

I have a component that exists of rows and columns. I would like to use componets tooltip text.  
My component triggers an custom event (“hover”). In this event i program a tooltip text and trigger the requestTooltip()

It works however the position is not correct. I have position set to mouse, yet it opens in the center.

Do i need to pass down some mouse event coordinates? does it accept arguments?  
I ofcource could create my own tooltip but i hoped to use the tooltip already provided xd

If this is currently not possible maybe it might be a nice feature request? To create a requesttooltip event with some coordinates (and maybe even text) as params?
