Maps tooltips when using ES|QL layer

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

I'm using Kibana 9.0.3 and experimenting with the new ES|QL support in Maps. I'm running an ES|QL query that returns geo_points (e.g., location) along with aggregated metrics (like total_sales and pct_diff), and I'm displaying the result on a map.

However, I’ve noticed that the "Show tooltips" option is disabled for ES|QL layers. I'd like to display values like pct_diff when hovering over each point or hex region, but I can't seem to enable this.

Is this a known limitation of ES|QL in Maps, or am I missing something in the configuration?
Are there any plans to support tooltips for ES|QL layers in a future release?

Thanks in advance!

Lacking tooltips is one of the known limitations for ES|QL support in Maps. At the moment we do not have this feature on our roadmap. Would you like to add a feature request in GitHub to express your need for ES|QL tooltips? That would help us prioritize the feature.
