Hi,

I have been struggling to link elemets in same artboard. e.g: on graph if I want to show tooltip on click of coordinates.

creating arboard everytime for each elements linking is very tedious. if this feature in not there in XD, adobe need to think from usability perspective. other tools, like Axure and Sketch gives these features. 

can anyone help me here how to do this linking within artboard?

Here's a link to the Adobe help that describes how states work within components. You can find plenty of other tutrorials as well. https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/help/create-component-states.html

I don't completely understand what you're trying to do however you may want to try using Components. With a Component, you can create multiple states that reside on the same artboard but have different appearances depending on which object you tap.

Oh, so when you tap on the dot, the tooltip appears? Like this? I'm happy to share the file with you if you'd like.
