Is there a way that we can (optionally) open the tooltip when an element is clicked instead of on hover ?

I have tried wrapping the $(element).tooltip(); inside a on click event but i haven't been able to get it to work

One option would be to override the _create method:

I'm surprised there's no built-in way to do this.

If you use this method, make sure you update it when you update jQuery UI, or keep jQuery UI at 1.9.0
