That makes sense I think the primary confusion was around the prop name “triggerText” I was assuming that the text would trigger the tooltip
Can you explain the scenario around why it needs to work this way?
The tooltip is opening from the icon so I feel like keeping the trigger target exclusively on the icon seems more natural, versus clicking on the label and having a tooltip open elsewhere. If the label could trigger the tooltip then why have the icon? The label also could potentially have a different function that the tooltip icon, like this example from github. These are just my initial thoughts, I’m going to look into this more and see what some ux best practices are and I’ll talk to the rest of the team about this as well.
