Programmatically select data-point and change the tooltip position

Using javascript, is it possible to “highlight” a X position on the chart? So that it behaves just as if the cursor was on that X position, showing the tooltip and all. Something like this:

<button>Go to position 3</button>
<script>
document.querySelector('button').addEventListener('click', function(){
chart.highlightPosition(3);
});
</script>

Hope my question is clear 😃

Any updates on this? We are currently missing this feature? Are there workarounds?
