Separate pop-up window with details to open when a specific event is clicked.

I have a requirement from a client in which he wants me to design a Power BI Report with Popups. Once Tooltips are added to the field, hovering over a data point on the visualization shows the values for those fields in the Tooltip. But the information goes off once you remove the cursor from that field. Do we have a functionality in which if I click a field, a popup should be open and it should remain frozen till the time I do not click in/out of the window again?

This is primarily needed in tables/matrix visual where tooltip ends up appearing every time you move the cursor to a row making the experience pretty annoying.

Basically need ability for say the Tooltip Report Page feature to be triggered on click of a icon in the table column vs on hover so that the user can explicitly choose when he/she wants to see the additional detail/popup. A close button on the page will dismiss the popup. This will also help make the drillthrough options easily accessible in table/matrix visuals.

Another option would be to have a functionality to maybe trigger a bookmark on click of a field. The field could just have a little icon on click of which a bookmarked visual (or group) on the same page or another page would show up.
