Remove label tooltip for plotly from ggplot

Question

I'm trying to use ggplotly to convert a ggplot while having different fields for the labels next to each point and on hover text box. When I try to set this explicitly in my ggplot, the label somehow also has a tooltip which is unwanted.

For example, if my ggplot is coded by this:

p1 <- ggplot(randomData, 
    aes(d30cumarpu, d30mult, col=cumarpu_mult_cluster, label=ip_country,
    text=paste('Country:', ip_country, '<br>',
               'd30cumarpu:', format(d30cumarpu, digits=2), '<br>',
               'd30mult:', format(d30mult, digits=2)))) +
    xlim(range(randomData[,'d30cumarpu'])[1]-2, range(randomData[,'d30cumarpu'])[2]) +
    geom_point() +
    geom_text(aes(x=d30cumarpu - 1.25), show.legend = FALSE) +
    labs(title = paste('ip_country',  'Clusters', sep = ' '))

then it will produce this image as desired.

However, when I transition this to plotly with

plotly1 <- ggplotly(p1, tooltip=c('text'))

I get the same graph except the label now has a hover tooltip in addition to the point as shown when using "compare data on hover".

Is there any way to get rid of the hover tooltip for the label?

I've been able to build the same thing using just plot_ly and setting hoverinfo='none' for my added text, but I can't figure out how to do that for ggplot converting to plotly.

plotly1 <- plot_ly(finaldata, x = ~d30cumarpu, y = ~d30mult, color=~cumarpu_mult_cluster, 
    text=~paste('Country:', ip_country, '<br>',
                'd30cumarpu:', format(d30cumarpu, digits=3), '<br>',
                'd30mult:', format(d30mult, digits=3)),
    hoverinfo='text') %>%
    add_markers() %>%
    add_text(x = ~d30cumarpu-1,
             y = ~d30mult,
             text = ~ip_country,
             color=~cumarpu_mult_cluster,
             hoverinfo='none',
             showlegend=FALSE)

Here's a sample of randomly generated and clustered data if anyone wants to play around:

Answer 1

So I was able to dig into the plotly structure and turn hoverinfo to none by finding which points in my list corresponded to the labels and eventually solved it with

for(i in 4:6){
    plotly1$x$data[[i]]$hoverinfo = 'none'
}

However, this doesn't seem sustainable, so if there are any other methods out there, I would love to hear them!
