With Wax v6, you can use native Leaflet popups with UTFGrid interactivity:
The interaction control lets you do whatever you want with the interactivity it provides - see the documentation on tooltips and its API for the full story.
This is an example of using native Leaflet popups with
a MapBox map - when you get an on
event that looks like a
click, create a Leaflet popup.
