Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] The `interesttarget` attribute (Issue #1058)

> I had assumed that when the target popover is popover=hint, popovertarget and friends automatically use interest-based interactions to open it. Are there use cases of popover=hint popovers that still need to open on click?

Yes, there might be situations where you want a hint popover that is opened on click. For example, an author might want a "more information" tooltip to be opened on click instead of on interest. This might still be a popover=hint, where it wouldn't close other auto popovers.

An author might want to interest-trigger an auto popover with behavior that closes other popovers. They also might want to require a click to open a hint popover that doesn't close other auto popovers. The invoking action (interest, click) and the popover behavior (how it interacts with other popovers when opened) are two different things, and I wouldn't want to conflate them.
