title: Chart.js - Add text/label to bubble chart elements without using tooltips?
body: <h3>Question</h3>
  
  <p>Is there any way to add labels to the individual bubbles in a Chart.js bubble chart without resorting to displaying tooltips at all times?</p>
  
  <h3>Background</h3>
  
  <p>The chart data is for visualizing our project backlog. Additional details, i.e. Project Name, about each project are in a table. </p>
  
  <p>We previously used google charts, and just included the row number from the table on the bubble so you could match things up.

  <p>With Chart.js I only get the bubbles and tooltips.

  <p>I've reviewed the following related questions, but the solution they suggested requires having tooltips display at all times. I've got a lot more information in the tooltips and displaying them all the time would significantly clutter the chart. </p>
