PR summary
This PR continues to work on issue #23378. It allows users to call ax.plot() with the argument "hover=usr_list", where usr_list is a list of string literals that can be pieces of arbitrary additional information assigned to each data point. These arbitrary data labels will appear as a tooltip in the bottom right hand corner of the screen when the cursor is detected to be hovering over a data point that corresponds with one of the data labels. This PR also includes am extension of a preexisting test file for this feature from the perspective of a user.
