Hello, when I spot a taxa of interest on a taxa barplot, I would hover my mouse on the bar to see its name. But when I move my mouse to copy it, the name changes to something else because my mouse passes through other bars. May I suggest that one can click to lock the name of interest? Thank you very much. Please let me know if you need screenshots to visualize this problem.

Thanks for the suggestion @jjmmii! We have an [open issue](https://github.com/qiime2/q2-taxa/issues/76) on this on the `q2-taxa` issue tracker! Stay tuned, we will update this thread if and when that feature becomes available! 🦖
