I have a list of values associated with the xaxis, but I do not want to plot them as y values. Rather I want to do something like "TickLabels" in Matlab, but make them Tooltips (because they can be rather long). Conceptually, it would be something like this:

timepoint 1 -> "this is the first point"
timepoint 2 -> "but then we started to wander"
timepoint 3 -> "we found our way back again"
timepoint 4 -> "on track!"

For anyone who stumbles on this request: I did find this helpful guideguide, but it appears to expect a list of actual values (associated with location along the axis)

Is there a way to add a tooltip to points on the x axis?
