Is there a way to show Altair Tooltip all the time? - altair

Question

I like the way tooltip looks way more than when I add text as labels for the points in my plot, is there a way to make it visible wether the mouse is on it or not?
I looked it up but haven't found any solutions, maybe with messing around with conditions?
example code from doc if you have ideas you'd like to test out :
import altair as alt
from vega_datasets import data
source = data.cars()
alt.Chart(source).mark_circle(size=60).encode(
x='Horsepower',
y='Miles_per_Gallon',
color='Origin',
tooltip=['Name', 'Origin', 'Horsepower', 'Miles_per_Gallon']
).interactive()
thank u :)

As per my comment above, I think the easiest way to do this is adding a styled text box. You can see an example of how to style it in this issue, which I also pasted below:
import altair as alt
from vega_datasets import data
cars = data.cars()
chart = alt.Chart(cars).mark_circle().encode(
alt.X('Miles_per_Gallon', scale=alt.Scale(domain=(5,50))),
y='Weight_in_lbs')
corl = cars[['Miles_per_Gallon','Weight_in_lbs']].corr().iloc[0,1]
text = alt.Chart({'values':[{}]}).mark_text(
align="left", baseline="top"
).encode(
x=alt.value(5), # pixels from left
y=alt.value(5), # pixels from top
text=alt.value([f"r: {corl:.3f}", 'Line 2']))
box = alt.Chart({'values':[{}]}).mark_rect(stroke='black', color='orange').encode(
x=alt.value(3),
x2=alt.value(50),
y=alt.value(3),
y2=alt.value(30))
chart + box + text + chart.transform_regression('Miles_per_Gallon','Weight_in_lbs').mark_line()
