They call them pop-ups instead of tool tips, but you can already do this: Configure pop-ups—ArcGIS Online Help | Documentation

a popup is not a tooltip. The difference is showing on a mouse click vs a mouse hover.

Just have to say, this would be a really useful option/capability, because a lot of end users are not intuitively familiar with web and/or mapping conventions, so providing tool tips would be a great way to prompt users with instructions (like informing them that greyed out layers will appear as you zoom in on the map--so many users think, "the box is checked, so why isn't the layer showing up?").

UPDATE: I just discovered that Map Viewer has a tool tip built in for the example I gave above, namely that hovering over the layer displays a tool tip saying, "Hydrants (Invisible at current scale)"; however, the web mapping application referencing that web map does not have the same functionality built in.

Update 06/13/24.

Tooltips work, temporarily, within Map viewer.

When a user adds Title = "Your Text" to a Pop Up element, such as an image.

The Tooltip works. Until you reopen the web map. Then, the Title is removed from Source Code, making the Tooltip no longer work.

So, it works, then gets removed after closing the Web Map.

What is the work around?

Is there plans to have this functionality in the future?

Tooltips are an industry standard, and having them assists Pop Ups in certain work flows.
