Provide ability for visual header tooltips to be filtered by interactions of the visual. An example would be showing a date range when a date slicer interacts with a visual vs when it doesn't. This functionality works with regular Tooltips, but not when added to the Visual Header.

Has there been any update on this?

As well as ignoring cross-filters from other visuals, note this currently ignores page-level filters and visual-level filters. So right now it's really a missed opportunity - we can show "dynamic" content, but we cant change the context so the result is actually static.

This would be handy indeed!
Possible workaround is to create the following measure;

Question mark = "?"

This measure can be shown in a "Card" visual, which now supports a report page tooltip. Just put the filters that you need on the card visual (showing a question mark) and you´re good to go!

I fully agree that this would be very very useful.
Rather than having to create 20-30 identically pages with different tooltips, we could have one page showing the information from one table and filter the table from the Source visual.
In the Msft Skateboard Report, you have small video tutorials as tooltips. Each URL comes from the same table, but you have to create a separate page for each tooltip - this is not efficient, and the solution seems very simple, since you already have the logic build for the normal tooltips.

I love this idea too, I was currently looking at doing that to explain to user the metrics and its definition.

Same for us. We would love to be able to display documentation based on filter context!

RE: Link Visual Header Tooltip to Visual Interactions

Agree with this in terms of filter context. Ie I could create help documentation for every visual and store each as a row in a spreadsheet. I would therefore only need to create on tooltip page with the selected value of my documentation, and apply a visual level filter on each visual to specify which row in my spreadsheet to look at
