You can update charts on client side, invoke JavaScript functions as hotspot links, or make dynamic calls for XML data without involving any page refreshes. You can also specify a DOMId for each chart and have it register with JavaScript. The chart can then keep JavaScript functions posted around its activities.

Entire chart as a hotspot
 

Starting v3, the entire chart can now act as a single hotspot.

Custom tool tip for each data plot item
 

You can now set your own custom tool tip text for each data plot item.
