How to add a pre-existing tooltip to a hover-state component ?

Question

I have an already defined component and an already defined tooltip (as a group of shapes/paths/texts etc.).

I would like the tooltip to appear when I hover over the component.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add my tooltip to the hover state of the component !

Could someone help ?

I have looked at this Solved: How to add elements to an existing Component in XD... - Adobe Support Community - 10522793 but the solution would to recreate the tooltip inside my component hover state. As it's a fairly complicated tooltip, I do not wish to do that.

So one workaround is actually to add the tooltip initially in the component, hide it in the default state and show it in the hover state.

But that starts another issue in that the zone which triggers hovering now includes the hidden tooltip. Any ideas from a guru ?
