GitHub user sfirke created a discussion: How to immediately see details of an 
outlier point in a boxplot?

When my users see a boxplot, they often want to know "what's the outlier dot?" 
For instance see this chart:
<img width="711" height="488" alt="image" 
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/666c5bea-94ed-4257-8896-f17e995b0e95";
 /> They want to know "whoa which value is over 600??"

As of 6.0.0rc3 I don't have a good answer for them. My best idea is to also 
include a sortable table with the raw data below the chart, then I ask them to 
sort that table by the metric of interest in descending order. Anyone have a 
better approach?

Bubble Chart (legacy) charts handle this well with the Entity field appearing 
as a label in the mouseover tooltip.

I suppose this is tricky because most points in a boxplot _aren't_ outliers and 
the tooltip wouldn't apply to them. But I think we could add tooltip controls 
to the boxplot and just include an info box that it will only apply to outliers.
