Show tooltip while using screen reader

Good morning,

Currently, the tooltip will display if the mouse or the keyboard interacts with a data point but is there any way to get the tooltip to display when the screen reader is interacting with a data point? I'm trying to achieve this in a column chart. I went through many of the events available on a point but none of them seem to be triggered by use of a screen reader. Are there any events triggered by interacting with the points on a chart when using the sceen reader? I'm using Mac's VoiceOver.

Thanks!
