Can I have a table in a tooltip plot - in the same spirit as this question?

https://ch.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/99523-how-do-i-create-a-latex-table-in-a-matlab-text-box

I've tried this ...

function txt = digraphToolTip(x,event_obj,t)
    x.TipHandle.Interpreter = 'latex';
    x.TipHandle.InterpreterMode = 'manual';
    txt = '\begin{tabular}{lll}  Chicago & usa & 1893  \end{tabular}';
end

I can stop the debugger here, so I know it's working, but I see the text, rather than a latex rendered table...

Any idea?
