Description

Following the hovering tutorial for Dash Tooltips, I noticed that the described hovering functionality present in graph_objs.Scatter is not present in graph_objs.Indicator (I get Invalid property specified errors for hoverinfo, and the callback does not fire)

I respectfully request this functionality be extended to the Indicator and thank you in advance for your consideration.

For context behind my request, I am building a dashboard for my workplace that will be used internally and will auto-configure based on the job that is running. The user being able to hover over the graph and view extra context as to what it is displaying would be highly beneficial.

Research direction

Start by comparing the hover behavior described for graph_objs.Scatter with the graph_objs.Indicator object, using the Dash Tooltips tutorial as the expected behavior. Confirm the current Invalid property specified error and callback behavior, then verify that Indicator supports the requested hover context without breaking existing graph object validation.
