Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Need to give a description about the values in a particular column when hover on top of the column name.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to have a feature to show a tooltip for each column name instead of having a single tooltip for the entire table. Something like shown below, image

Describe alternatives you've considered

Tried to use the tooltip which already has for the entire table to convey the message. But that is not efficient when it come to the application.

Research direction
Investigate the existing table component in Wave (likely in Python) and its tooltip implementation. Refer to the linked discussion (https://github.com/h2oai/wave/discussions/1784) for context. Understand how column headers are rendered and how to attach individual tooltips to each column. Consider if this requires changes to the Python widget or the underlying React/TypeScript frontend.
