Widget tooltips don't work with Widget Component in world space

[MicrobProd]

Hi! I have a problem. Tooltips are not drawn above my widget, if it’s placed in a widget component and drawn in world space. I’m using the widget interaction component to interact with the widget.

Is there built-in solution that allows to draw tooltips also in world space? Or do I need to create my custom system for that?

The widget component does not allow to display anything beyond / outside its own quad mesh. The plane is all the space you get and it’s already taken by the widget.

Indeed!

• pop a 2nd widget component that serves as a tooltip
• or reserve some space in the designer:

The top widget in the vertical box will take 20% of space and act as a tooltip you can show / hide. May not be ideal for numerous reasons.
