GitHub user sfirke edited 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.

If drill to detail's table was sortable, that would be acceptable.
