### Clickable tooltip
### Clickable tooltip/accessibility

By default, you can't interact with elements inside the tooltip. To allow for proper usage of elements such as buttons and inputs, use the `clickable` prop.
By default the tooltip disappears when the pointer leaves the tooltip anchor element - which means you can't interact with elements inside the tooltip and that it won't meet the 'hoverable' requirement of [WCAG Success Criterion 1.4.13 Content on Hover or Focus](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#content-on-hover-or-focus).

To allow for proper usage of elements such as buttons and inputs - or to ensure the pointer can be moved over the tooltip content without it disappearing - use the `clickable` prop.

```jsx
<a id="not-clickable">◕‿‿◕</a>
