I am new to google docs Add-ons. I am working on an add-on in which I need to show set of image on text hover like tooltip in html
I did not find a way to implement this after hours of googling. please help.
This is not possible.
The above because the Documents Service of Google Apps Script doesn't include "on hover" event / trigger or something similar
The only way is by using a dialog or sidebar and they can only be launched by clicking on a custom menu or by using google.script.run on a previously opened dialog / sidebar.

I have a very simple presentation that I created using Google Slides and I published it as a website (Publish To The Web). The link is below.
What I want is to prevent the user from navigating the slides (moving to the next slide or previous slide) using the keyboard. I want to force him only to click on the Next Slide / Previous Slide buttons that I created on the slide.
Appreciate your help

Unfortunately, according to an answer from a similar post A Google script to disable keys in a keyboard, Google Apps Script can't disable keys in a keyboard nor includes any service to modify the key behavior in Google Slides or any other Google services.
I know i'm late but I'm pretty sure you just have to right click on the slide and click on skip slide.
I am trying to create a branching scenario using google slides, the idea is that someone viewing the presentation can click on the buttons and see the outcome of their selections.
The first few slides it's easy, it's a 1 to 1 so I can just use the "link" feature in slides.
The tricky part is once you progress to slide 3. I want the slide they are directed to by clicking on the "course of action" options to be based on all the currently selected options.
So here is where I'm stuck - I need to figure out how to have an interaction (click) with the slide in presentation mode trigger a script.
Any suggestions on how to accomplish this in Google Slides?
At this time the Slides Service for Google Apps Script and the Google Slides REST API don't include a way to call a script on a click of an element. This feature is only included on Google Sheets (Clickable images and drawings in Google Sheets)
NOTE: The Google's official documentation very rarely includes a page about missing features. It could be possible that someone already submitted a feature request through the official Issue Tracker. If so, you could star that issue to get notifications about changes on it. Another place to monitor is the G Suite Developers Blog and the Google Apps Script release notes.
In a google document, is there a way to make a piece of text (or a hyperlink or a button inside the text) calling a google app script?
The options are to create a custom menu or a sidebar panel. For further details see:

Add custom menu to a Google Document
As a part of project requirement I need to add a custom menu (context menu) to the google drive right click options.
As per my research google app script can help for creating a custom menu for google docs, google form and google sheet. However I haven't yet come across a way to add a custom menus for google drive.
I cannot use chrome extension as I need it to be all browser compatible.
Any ideas if it's even supported and possible.
Any help is appreciated!
Eventually I had to integrate an app with "Open With" option in Google Drive.
Apparently, context menus are not supported in Google Drive.
You cannot add custom context menus in Google Drive. The custom menus you read about in Docs, Sheets, etc are added in the menubar at the top of the editor, not into the right-click menu.
I have a Google Doc add-on that utilizes the sidebar: no problem there. When one uses the Google research add-on, there is an secondary slide out from the sidebar that shows a preview of a search result (see picture below) when clicked. I am hoping to replicate this behaviour, but I see nothing about it in the api regarding size and limits. I tried having a tooltip pop up on my links in the sidebar, but they appear cut off or under the main Google Doc palette. I have tried a bunch of other Google Doc add-ons to see if any of them replicate this functionality, but they don't. Before I spend hours on this, I want to first ask is anyone know if this is specific permission for Google's sidebar only, or can developers replicate this functionality?
The Research Tool is a direct integration with Docs and Presentations, it's not a Google Apps Script add-on. The freedom to "slide out" within the document is not available to add-ons today.
As one alternative, you could use an accordion affect to collapse your "first page" and overlay the result page, still within the bounds of the sidebar.
A second alternative would be to use a non-modal window, where you'd have more freedom. (resizing there requires client-server exchanges, but is doable)
