Is someone willing to pull together research on tooltip nestability? #854

Description

@mfreed7

The OpenUI research page for tooltips does not include information on whether tooltips are allowed to be nested. On the WHATWG html issue for popover=hint, there's an open question about whether tooltips are most commonly allowed to be nested, or whether they're restricted to be one tooltip at a time.

Does anyone have the time to take a look into the design systems listed on the research page (or bring in more systems) and see if they allow nesting?

Additionally, do any a11y folks have input on whether nested tooltips are "ok"? I have been assuming not, but I realize (from the WHATWG conversation) that that's just an assumption that I can't justify with any data. @scottaohara @aleventhal
