Can you change only the hovering text for a widget without changing the name?

Hello!

I have a user who would like to change the text that displays when hovering over a widget. At the moment, I can change the hovering message if I rename the layer. Example changing 'Search' to 'Testing': MBocek_2-1769033763983.png

Is there a way to keep the name of the widget while changing only the hovering text? Ideally, something like what the 'tooltip' field does for the Text element.

You can build a fake Widget Controller using this method. https://community.esri.com/t5/experience-builder-tips-and-tricks/the-diy-widget-controller-part-ii-t... And the Button Widgets you will replace your Widget Controller with have a Tooltip value you can use to make the tooltips.
