linking images to plot

Hello, I have a bokeh plot which has a scatter plot with data displayed using a hover tool. Is there any way to have images displayed using another tool tip such as clicking a datapoint?
Thanks and sorry for the obscure question!

This isn’t an obscure question at all. Currently hover tool allows only text to be displayed, but we will allow templated HTML to be rendered instead, for 0.8 release, so you will be able to display images. If you would like to connect hover tool to some external piece of HTML (e.g. some

on a page), that may be doable in future using widgets (it could be done now, but you would have to write some customized JavaScript to workaround current limitations).
