[Maps] Enhanced functionality for tooltip popups

[t-pete]

For my use case of Kibana it is crucial to show additional information about the objects on a tile map in their tooltip popups. Currently, however, the tooltip popups on tile maps are pretty poor as they merely show one value and lon/lat coordinates. This info is not always useful especially if these coordinates are only “virtual” ones representing the geo centre of aggregated geo points.

It would therefore be great if it was possible to configure the data to be shown in the tooltip popups e.g. by integrating

• visualizations (cf. embed visualization in tooltip #14102) or -even better-
• whole dashboards with more than one visualization.

When hovering over a geo marker with the mouse the tooltip popup should

• display the dashboards/visualizations filtered for those documents aggregated by this geo marker, and
• allow the same interactions (klicking/hovering) as in a native “visualize” or “dashboard” views.

Further Ideas to improve the tile map tooltips:

• Option to view a list of the documents, that are aggregated by a marker on the map.
• Configurable marker colour scale

The need for enhanced options in tooltips on tile maps has already been addressed pretty long ago as apparently some functionality was lost with the release of Kibana 4 (cf. #3039).
A solution already partly exists with the enhcanced_tilemap-plugin by @nreese. It also implements other very valuable features like more intuitive map navigation.
A first step could be integrating this recommendable plugin into the shipping version of Kibana.

tile map is deprecated #81703, but this is a good ER-request for Maps as well.
