Is there a documented/supported way to place figure data tips programmatically?

I find it useful to be able to programmatically place data tips. I discovered the createDatatip function, which let's you do this (see example below), but it is undocumented, so I am uneasy about relying on it. Is there a documented/supported alternative?
h=plot(1:5);
dcm=datacursormode(ancestor(h,'figure'));
for i=1:numel(h.XData)
dTip = createDatatip(dcm,h);
dTip.Position=[h.XData(i), h.YData(i)];
end

Hi Matt,
I understand that you are looking for functions to create datatips in MATLAB.
Starting from MATLAB R2019b, the “datatip” function was introduced, which allows you to create custom data tips in plots. This function provides a way to display additional information or annotations at specific data points on a plot.
To learn more about the “datatip” function and its usage, refer to the following documentation. https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/matlab.graphics.datatip.datatip.html
Hope this Helps!
